lyrics

How many hours must a man put in to reap a honest yield
How many flowers must a woman get before she starts to feel

I figured if I tried too hard you'd see right through my act
You figured that I didn't try at all
You noticed how my eyes lit up when I opened my heart
I noticed how you didn't want to fall


I wrote your name into the dust above my cot
I whispered softly that I'd Love to take advantage of you now
And, I imagined what our story would be like if we would learn to compromise
Perhaps tonight


How many hearts must a woman break before she finds her kindness
How many bars must a man sit in before he compromises

You figured that if you dug deep enough I’d automatically oblige
You were denied
I noticed how your eyes teared up when you mentioned your dad
I noticed how we both we kind of sad


I screamed your name into air above our house
I cursed you out because you wouldn't let me be who I'd become
And, I imagined all the people with advice, and I was honestly surprised
When we survived


Cause it appears that all we had to do mend
From all the hours that our parents both put in
When you accepted me, I realized that I’d never truly loved myself
And, so I tried…

When I accepted you and all your fucked up ways you got real mad at me
And, you cried
Because my eyes
Don’t lie
