Standard (EADGBE)
You don't fathom me, I thought
For a while it's just because I didn't make any sense
If it's hard for me to say I'm sure
It's not because there's nothing left here for me to tell
So marry me then leave me
On the kitchen floor
You can still get lost
When you know what you're looking for
Or bury me and wash away
The dirt from your hands
I'm tired of trying to figure out
What you'll never understand
And if I throw myself into the river
To help you keep your head above the water
What strength will I have left
To not drown together?
I might beg you not to leave, abandoned
I sometimes feel like I can't go through all of this alone
What's mine? What's yours? What did we do wrong?
Walk the wire between our worlds, try not to lose myself
We love each other only the best we can
Through strengths and through flaws surrendering all we have
If you could only walk a mile in my shoes
Might be easier to let go and for this love to lose
And if I hide my head in the sand
To avoid my reflection in your eyes
The mirror might be dustier
But I'm not uglier
And if I throw myself into the river
To help them keep their heads above the water
What strength will I have left
To not drown together?
And if I hide my head in the sand
To avoid my reflection in their eyes
No matter how loudly they applaud,
I won't feel any better
