Huh

I’m feeling real strange

If defense was for the heart

The plaintiff is the brain

I can tell the two apart

But they both want the same, thing

So what’s the problem

There’s no fight

Saw you walk out with another woman

I don’t have the right, to feel jaded

But I do

Nothing more than one night stands

Entertainment for your crew

I can’t take it to the heart

‘Cause this right here is what you do

You already told me who you were

But I had to witness truth

I’m hard headed

For some reason, have to live it

Then I choose

Then I move

Won’t pursue

That’s just how I see it through

But I must admit

I’m tired of pretending that deep down

I don’t want someone to reprieve

What feels like a rejection to my needs

So you must see

My case is not to counter the defense

As a mind, I mind the heart

Seeking justice ‘til it’s sent

But until defense has rested

As the plaintiff, I must stand

And will arrange to fight this battle to the end

I know it must be strange

If defense was for the heart

The plaintiff is the brain

I can tell the two apart

But they both want the same, thing

So what’s the problem

There’s no fight

We just wanna do what’s right

But tell me is that strange

If defense was for the heart

The plaintiff is the brain

I can tell the two apart

But they both want the same, thing

So what’s the problem

There’s no fight

We just wanna do what’s right

Wow

My counterpart speaks so well in my defense

A type of guard I like to keep

When I lose common sense

You see, I get hung up on feelings

Though they’re temporary

They never cease to put me in a state of constant worry

That’s my problem

And it does become debilitating

I agree with my supposed opponent

No debating

If I’m ever to be strong enough against a man

That request to get the pants

Needs rebuttal with demands

And I break myself every time

I see it

Hurts so good 

I tell myself until I do believe it

I take up so much pain

I think I’m really glutton

And to make it worse

I tell him I love to be punished

And then love becomes a thing that I don’t recognize

So he thinks he’s loving me correctly

Basing from a lie

Couldn’t be further from the truth

Sorry to bring the pain

I’m sorry to put so much on the brain

You must think I’m strange

If defense was for the heart

The plaintiff is the brain

I can tell the two apart

But they both want the same, thing

So what’s the problem

There’s no fight

We just wanna do what’s right

But tell me is that strange

If defense was for the heart

The plaintiff is the brain

I can tell the two apart

But they both want the same, thing

So what’s the problem

There’s no fight

We just wanna do what’s right

But tell me is that strange
