Lyrics
Say to me / those last words that you say so playfully
Cuts so easily / like you wouldn't believe
Repeatedly / I've been the first in this line of misery
Though it always seems / like you never could see
And it always sounds like you never knew
If I tell you now and I let you know, would you still be you?
But I wish I could weather this storm / cuz I just can't go on
if you're so withdrawn / and you're unaware / like you're never there
it ain't ever fair
Heart and sleeves / only match when the moonlight's sweet to me
Glows so greedily / as it's bleeding me
All the deal-making / plan-breaking phone calls you drop
that you sell to me constantly / on and on until you STOP
Cut so easily / like a guillotine
Cuz I'm falling down like a parachute
but your crystal ball doesn't break my fall / if it's deaf and mute
I just don't know what hurts more to say
that you should go right now / or I need you now
cuz you're in my head / and I'm seeing red / from the words you said
And I know right now that I never knew
What you wanted me to become for you
It's the same old song / in a diff'rent key
That you never heard so you'll never see
I was falling flat and I'm off the scene
You can take a note / as an off-hand quote / but you best believe / that it's what I mean
And it always sounds like you never knew
If I tell you now and I let you know, would you still be you?
But I wish I could weather this storm / cuz I just can't go on
if you're so withdrawn / and you're unaware / like you're never there
it ain't ever fair
It cuts so easily
It brings me to me to my knees
And it makes me wanna, makes me wanna make believe
That you're still here with me
Cuts so easily
It brings me down to my knees
