Verse 1
Let me begin.
I feel like I’m giving everything.
It feels like you’re not giving anything.
I know that can’t be true.
But I haven’t seen you…
in a while, sweating tears like I do
at the start of each evening’s moon.
Did you give up?
I’m just trying to hold up.
How are you holding up these days?
I’m about at the end of all that I can
give without giving a piece of me
I’m not willing
It’s the part of me you fell in love with
all those years ago. But to turn at hate it all
halfway through
I’m sorry – I can’t keep up with you.
Chorus
To turn so sharply
doesn’t seem fair to me
but maybe
fair isn’t what you are going for
maybe it’s something more.
it feels like something worse
It doesn’t seem like you were regretting me in the moments.
Verse 2
Let’s look back.
I know you know that none of this
would have been possible with…
out that unwavering
character that I bring
that didn’t bend
into the strong wind
of life that was tough on us.
Oh, they were tough on us.
But now that I’m not bending
to your new heading
that of never seen before
have I become your new enemy?
Chorus
To turn so sharply …
doesn’t seem fair to me
but maybe
fair isn’t what you are going for.
Maybe it’s something more.
it feels like something worse
It doesn’t seem like you were regretting me in the moments.
Verse 3
Let’s look ahead.
Don’t stop talking.
I want to hear. Even if
it’s incoherently painful.
Just stay here.
Don’t throw it all away.
All the years. All the good,
all the bad, the many many laughs
and oh yes, nobody is going to forget all the tears
But imagine with me how strong we’d be
if we make it through
and the examples we’d set to the children
and many generations that follow, too
Chorus
To turn so sharply…
doesn’t seem fair to me
but maybe
fair isn’t what you are going for.
Maybe it’s something more.
it feels like something worse
It doesn’t seem like you were regretting me in the moments
