lyrics

Something has just been brought to my attention over what we fought
I never ever say what I probably ought, it's always leaving your eyes a little bloodshot
But let's not lie that you're any better what with you always acting so red letter
Measure each tremor multiplied by Richter, but sweet tea shouldn't taste so bitter

I don't know why there needs to be something wrong, but there does
I guess it's proof that you can only be happy for so long, and I was

Until you made a claim for some time and space, to which I could only acquiesce
Pack up my things and head outta this place, but I should've known you'd never give up the chase
So am I really the one who's crazed when you're the one who seems to think conflict's so great
Like folding while holding a pair of pocket Aces, the joke's on us

I don't know why there needs to be something wrong, but there does
I guess it's proof that you can only be happy for so long, and I was
And I was

We can always come to a compromise
But we can never give up the fight
We can always put our burns on ice but we'll shortly blame the freeze for our next blight
If we can maintain a peaceful state of mind, let's heal up these cuts and bruises or at least try

I don't know why there needs to be something wrong, but there does
I guess it's proof that you can only be happy for so long, and I was
And I was
And I was
