My Own Discretion

Can you respect and understand That I am just a work in progress Can you tolerate the fact that I often Contradict myself Can you find your fleeting patience When I've seemed to misplace mine Can you still love me When I don't even like myself Cuz I'm trying to convince myself That I don't need your affection I tally up the score when I Label every imperfection Looking for a red or green I find only flashing yellow Stop and go at my own discretion Can you stand to be corrected Can you understand my backwards thoughts Can you please repeat yourself again I didn't hear the first three times Can you tolerate my awful jokes And smile when I start laughing Can you fill in the blanks of my stare Can you read my mind Cuz I'm trying to convince myself That I don't need your affection I tally up the score when I Label every imperfection Looking for a red or green I find only flashing yellow Stop and go at my own discretion Won't someone tell me what to do Cuz I don't want to gamble But I don't want to risk losing you Won't something give me a sign Just to let me know everything will be just fine It will be just fine Cuz I'm trying to convince myself That I don't need your affection I tally up the score when I Label every imperfection Looking for a red or green I find only flashing yellow Stop and go at my own discretion
