Thank you for the prompt. Joined later, just got back from work :) I don't have music in mind. If you hear it, please let me know. I'd be very happy to collaborate on the song. Thank you for reading and commenting.

Lyrics

"Bending the Rules..." Lyrics © 2026 Nadia Cripps

Sorry to break it to you but it's not cool You are taking me for a fool When you don't have the right tools You keep bending the rules

There should be other ways You could avoid this phase Yet you keep bending each rule Since your time in a primary school

All your stretching and adjusting Makes it impossible for me to feel trusting I never know what to expect from you When you spontaneously choosing what to do

Bending the rules each day Keeps us apart, away I have to say to you goodbye Cause I've exhausted each try

Many years exposure to someone like that would wear down a person. Good when the person knows to leave. Great lyrics.

Sometimes patience runs out. Those perpetual rule benders can be trying.
