Certain People

Certain People by Trista Rhodes [Verse 1] Some folks like me fine enough But they don’t stay too long They want a girl who fits the mold And doesn’t write sad songs I’ve learned to let ‘em pass me by Like trains I never chase I’d rather sit with quiet eyes Than fight to earn my place [Chorus] Only certain people get it They don’t flinch when I go quiet They don’t need to fill the silence Just sit with me beside it They don’t fix me when I’m honest Don’t take off when I unfold Only certain people get me— And Lord, they feel like gold [Verse 2] I’ve had to learn to bite my tongue When people smile too wide Like they don’t see the worn-out parts Or what I hold inside I’m not a storm you ride for fun Then leave before the rain If you can't stand the way I break Don’t ask about my name [Chorus] Only certain people stay When things ain’t wrapped up clean They don’t panic when I crumble They just lean and let me lean They see past the decoration Down to where it’s real and bold Only certain people get me— The kind you never sold [Bridge] It ain’t about the pretty words Or promises they swore It’s in the ones who sit down quiet And don’t ask me to be more [Final Chorus] Only certain people see me And don’t tell me to behave They just hand me one more coffee And a place to misbehave They don’t run from who I’m not They don’t mind a little cold Only certain people love me— The ones you don’t just hold Outro (Spoken, soft): Yeah... only certain people. But I’d rather have one right one Than a hundred that feel wrong.
