lyrics

I guess it’s easy and it’s hard,
cause we know how it is and we know how it’s not.
But it’s harder than I thought.
Say what you say, it’s the way that you talk.

I knew that it would help
if I could explain just how I felt,
But I kept it to myself,
as if it won’t exist if I don’t bring it up,

Cause it’s hard to talk about
dried-up dreams, watered seeds of doubt.
But you gotta get it out,
If you bottle it up it’s gonna burst back out.

Afraid to age.
Drunk on love.
Impaired by rage.
None of the above.

I’m as sober as a judge,
but I can feel what I can’t touch.

I guess it’s hard to rid a demon,
cause they’re not always gone when you can’t see them.
I wonder how to free them.
I saw a picture of me and I wanted to be him.

I guess we can’t turn back,
so I’m glad to take a chance on all that we could have.
So I am fine with that;
To me it doesn’t seem to be so bad.

But I know that it is true,
that I only make things harder on you.
And I wonder what to do,
with the one thing I can’t afford to lose.
