What a good prompt! Hit me right where it helped.
Lyrics
Running out of patience, no that’s not it Running out of curiosity on why she still put up with this Asks a simple question, gets wrong assumptions back She’s just trying to live her life without surprise attacks
Chorus: Love means taking action, love means being a friend Love means assuming good things first, sometimes you flex and bend She thought she knew who you were, she’s thinking now she’s wrong Trying to figure it out some more by writing this song.
She’s trying to take it slowly, giving this thing lots of thought She know just who she is and who she is not She thought she knew who you were, she’s thinking now she’s wrong Trying to figure it out some more by writing this song.
Chorus: Love means taking action, love means being a friend Love means assuming good things first, sometimes you flex and bend She thought she knew who you were, she’s thinking now she’s wrong Trying to figure it out some more by writing this song.
Complacency is easy, until it’s too hard She doesn’t want to leave here, she’s doesn’t want a scar There’s lots of good reasons to stay here, until the hammer falls Complacency is easy, until it’s too hard
Chorus: Love means taking action, love means being a friend Love means assuming good things first, sometimes you flex and bend She thought she knew who you were, she’s thinking now she’s wrong Trying to figure it out some more by writing this song.

Nice lyrics ! I really like the line "she doesn't want a scar" which really hit me !
Great lyric. Who hasn't been in a situation like this.
This is great. I really like the way you open with an expected line, and then change your mind about it, dig deeper into what this person is really feeling about their situation. Excellent lyric writing.
