lyrics

There are many ways in which I failed
And oceans are a history of tears
My hand, it shakes too much to write my name
My heart, it fails too much to ever win

And you know I've been trying to work it out
And you know I'm afraid and trembling
I watch my love, it's poured upon the ground
I wonder if there's any left in me

It's complicated. Underestimated.
It makes me long. It makes me sigh.

I wanna go home, but I can't go home
It's been so long since I've been home
I wanna be strong, but I can't be strong
There's no one left to prop me up
I want to be free, but I can't be free
A blue-eyed woman got her hooks in me
I wanna be me, but I can't be me
But that's another song

My dreams, a drunk parade across my mind
So fat they'll never see the light of day
Oh I'll be king, I'll be emperor
The shards of that lie on the kitchen floor

Darling, can you love a simple man?
My mouth sometimes a tunnel to a lie
I thought that I was special for my pain
But a house that's filled with love brings more to gain
