Settled In

I've always been settled in
I thought compromise was the answer
That if I gave you a couple of things, you'd have to do the same for me
Not everyone is raised the same and boy I was mistaken
You didn't see the value in me
I didn't see what I wanted was exactly worth waiting for
I knew I deserved everything, I just wasn't receiving it
Nothing I wanted was out of my reach
The question was who was I dealing with
It's had to find and I'm tired of looking
Tired of names I'll end up forgetting
But that doesn't mean I should settle for anything
It's comforting settling in agreements
I compromise for you and you compromise for me
But without paperwork it's all hearsay anyway
The only thing left compromised is me
Now I know waiting is what's best for me
I am too selfish to let anyone below my worth use me
I love myself too much for settling.
