lyrics

“I guess it’s just a hard life,”
as I’m drowning in the deep blues of yr eyes.
I’ll listen if you tell the truth
(or just wanna talk to me).

“I’ve given up on your lies,
or maybe just the way you try to hide.”
But you know that I’d rather fight
than let you into me.

Could it be you’re still pissed?
I know you can’t make that shift—
“late again.” I swear I’ll never make a fist.
The root is gone—this is all that’s left of our plant.

Turn yourself on your side
just to prove that you’ve got nothing to hide.
“I can hear it in your sigh”:
I won’t ‘make up’ with you.

And when I wake you up again
you don’t listen to a word I’ve said.
Everything [I] do makes [you] “cry,”
so I guess it’s just a hard life.
