You sit me down to explain |
|
All the trials you've endured |
|
Around and around the refrain |
|
Rings the same each time it's heard |
|
Entertain the notion, entertain the notion |
|
That the only thing I hear |
|
Is the crack of a smile in a face |
|
That ain't so sincere |
|
When I'm measuring out |
|
Your quality |
|
It is only as deep |
|
As your modesty |
|
As your insides fall to pieces |
|
Shattered by the silent treatment |
|
Things are only fragile till they break |
|
Feigning your humility |
|
It only serves to weaken the |
|
Most common observations that you make |
|
Drown me out in conversation |
|
Surf a wave of provocation |
|
Wash away my interest in your |
|
Well I think you can reach a place |
|
Where the impetus is pure |
|
You'll understand a disgrace |
|
Is the thing that makes us feel |
|
Level on the inside, level on the outside |
|
I'm, I'm content to know it |
|
Level on the inside, level on the outside |
|
I don't need to show it |
|
When I'm measuring out |
|
Your quality |
|
It is only as deep |
|
As your modesty |
|
As your insides fall to pieces |
|
Shattered by the silent treatment |
|
Things are only fragile till they break |
|
Feigning your humility |
|
It only serves to weaken the |
|
Most common observations that you make |
|
Drown me out in conversation |
|
Surf a wave of provocation |
|
Wash away my interest in your wake |
|
(Shattered by the silent treatment) |
|
Fragile till they break down |
|
(As your insides fall to pieces) |
|
(Shattered by the silent treatment) |
|
Fragile till they break down |
|
(As your insides fall to pieces) |
