about

A song about unrequited love...but being unable to leave.

lyrics

I see you black out the sky because it’s easy to do
And then you light up the sun, but only when you want to
You perk me up when I’m wilting but you don’t have a clue
How it hurts, how it hurts
And you give me just enough so that I cannot complain
And then you turn a blind eye when I allude to my pain
I know you think that I’ll bloom with just the fall of the rain
But I won’t, and I don’t

And it hurts when you are with me
And it hurts when you aren’t
And it hurts when you talk to me
Because I know your words don’t hold any heart
And I wish that it were different
Maybe we could take root
And I know that you feel sorry
And that you’ll never feel the way that I do
But I wish that you would

You know we’d be better off if you would give up your fear
‘Cause now I’m fucking up the soil with the salt of my tears
We’re a perennial: we die and we come back every year
But it’s worse, it gets worse
I was brave when I told you how I felt about it
We had a conversation, but it feels like we never did
It’s like you think that I brushed it off and got over it
And that hurts, god it hurts

And it hurts when you don’t see me
And it hurts when you do
Even after everything I’ve been through
Nothing kills me more than you do
And we’re never reaching full bloom
We get close and then it falls through
Sometimes I wish I never met you
But for nothing I would trade you
God I think I could die

And I should find another garden where it’s easy to grow
Maybe with herbs, but flowers are all that I know
So now we watch my leaves fall off and decompose

And it hurts when you are with me
And it hurts when you aren’t
And it hurts when you look at me
Because I know you don’t see my bleeding heart
And we’re never reaching full bloom
‘Cause we die before we get to
I’d be better off to leave you
But I couldn’t stand to lose you
I think I’d rather die
Either way I will die
