Lyrics

Both Can Be True


I thought I knew it all, I had the nerve
To feel so high above the learning curve
But four years in, and I feel like a child
Having realisations
The line goes dead, I feel your stomach drop
You're in a certain mood, I soak it up
It's like something doesn't fit
If there's a cost then this is it
This is it, this is it

You make me feel high
You make me feel blue
I'm stuck in between
Frozen and feeling everything
Oh, make no mistake
I fucking love you
But this shit is hard
I guess that both can be true
I guess that both can be true
