lyrics
There's light on the landing
But a grim misunderstanding
Of what it means to feel, to write, to be
Yes, you're a heavy-hitter
And heartache's made you bitter
And I'm naive in ways that I can't see
I can't fix your broken
I can't live on words
Live on words unspoken
Your love has got the best of me,
The best of me
the best of me,
But your bitterness,
It gets to me
It gets to me
It gets to me.
I'm predisposed to self-deprecation.
I live in constant states of fearful hesitation.
I hold you in such high esteem
That when I sit to write, to dream,
I hear your judgement in my head,
Telling me it's shit instead.
I can't fix your broken
I can't live on words
Live on words unspoken
Your love has got the best of me,
The best of me
the best of me,
But your bitterness,
It gets to me
It gets to me
It gets to me.
I can't fix the part of me that burns for your relief.
But I can't live under the shroud of my own disbelief.
I can't fix my broken.
I can't fix my broken.
I can't live on words,
Live on words unspoken.
Your love has got the best of me
The best of me
The best of me,
But your bitterness, it gets-
I can't fix your broken
I can't live on words
Live on words unspoken
Your love has got the best of me,
The best of me
the best of me,
But your bitterness,
It gets to me
It gets to me
It gets to me.
