[Verse 1]
I'm running up the valley just for you
If you knew all the things that I would do for you
Why can't you just believe in me?
Ugh
I have your jewelry
Among your old things
If you knew all the ways you stained
My memory
You'd fall to your knees
[Pre-Chorus]
Why can't you save me
With your own hands?
And why can't you be
The sun and the ocean?
After all this time
I'm still singing that line
I wrote at your parents' place
I wish I never sang it to your face
[Chorus]
Day in, day out
Day in, day out
Oh, all you ever care about is how
You should be so paramount
And you never said it out loud
You never made a sound
'Til you let your true colors out
You didn't have to show me now
[Verse 3]
I'm paranoid in California now
If I see green or blue I recall
Nights that you kept me awake
Just to beat me down
And wear me out
Why can't I be done with you?
Fuck
Oh, I've unlearned your ceiling
And tried to move on
But the sound of your screaming is
Stuck in my lungs
For however long
I keep letting it
[Pre-Chorus]
Why can't you save me
With your own hands?
And why can't you be
The sun and the ocean?
What's your goal here?
What's your endgame?
What's your point here?
Is it bad faith? (What is it then?)
Do you just want to take me down?
[Chorus]
Day in, day out
Day in, day out
Oh, all you ever about is how
You should be so paramount
And you never said it out loud
You never made a sound
'Til you let your true colors out
You didn't have to show me now
[Outro]
Oh, wouldn't I like to know?
But the questions are dull
When the progress is null
Oh, guess I'm good after all
Didn't think about anything
Not worthwhile today
Oh, wouldn't I like to know?
But my headspace is full
Of memories of shoes inside
Oh, I fell in love after all
Didn't know it would be
So worthwhile today
