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 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, 'till now
