lyrics

Ain’t it kinda sad When yr caught up
in that troubled kind of love
Where u can’t see no way out of that hell?
You might lie and cheat
and treat yr lovers Like trash
Just to get out of lookin at yrself

But ain’t it kinda sadder
Dont u think?
When u can see The way to change
And make things right
But u just can’t bring yrself
to take a single step
Cause yr afraid of what lays
on the other side

And If I was better
Would u still love me?
Would you still find the time
to call me on my shit
If I was patient and kind?
If I was happy
Would u still need me?
would u still believe the things I say
If I turns out I wasn’t lyin?

U know When u said that you could fix me
I thought it was a jokemade in poor taste
Butnow that itlooks like u mightjust pullit off
I’ll admit I am a little afraid

And when yr done with yr little project here
And I give up on my little tricks
Won’t u get a little bored
With that easy kind of love
And go looking for another heart to fix?

They say it’s lonely on the top
And that might be true
But we both know the bottom
It Ain’t so hot
But I’m tired of waking up
with mystery bruises
I think I’ll give peace of mind another shot

Now let’s say
I become self aware by Saturday
Aren’t u a little scared
u might Love me less?
Tell me the truth
Is it me u love Or is it my wounds?
And if u loved them away
would there be any love left?


You told me once
With yr face lit by a cruel cigarette
Some things it’s better to forget
Well u might b right about that one honey
I’ll have to reread my Freud
But I’m pretty sure u just had it pretty hard
And the human heart is born paranoid
