Would it kill you just to let it all work out?
 trying so hard just to break it down
 I somehow didn't see it till just now, 'till now
 Spent that summer feelin' sorry, like I thought I'd never get
 To September, so I loafed around intent to wait for it
 Oh things were shaping up to take a while
 All that waiting, not a single smile
 Oh and it's so hard,
 To spend all winter, wanting summer like you couldn't bear the cold
 Six months later, it's a bummer like it instantly got old
 Oh, things were playing out just like I thought
 No sense staying bent over what's not
 Oh is it so hard?
 Would it kill you just to let it all work out?
 tryin' so hard just to break it down
 I somehow didn't see it till just now, 'till now
 One day you knew
 You were letting every worthwhile breath
 just pass right through you, with each one you drew nearer to your death
 I've got so much on my plate, sometimes I try not to let it bog me down, I know
 Oh everybody told me so
 Would it kill you just to let it all work out?
 tryin' so hard just to break it down
 I somehow didn't see it till just now, 'till now.
 Would it kill you just to let it all work out?
 You're tryin' so hard just to break it down
 I somehow didn't see it till just now, oh no
