lyrics

You were a flower, sitting in a vase in a space in my room

The water ran out, I had no more to give
And so it dried, and then it died

You are a painting, sitting on a page in a frame in my room
You'll never dry out, I'll never let you
I'll always keep you around if I'm allowed to

You don't need reassurance
To know that you'll be fine
Wish I could tell you that hurt is
much harder to come by
I'll be hurtin', too 

With your resent I cannot undo

You were a pattern, I got so used to running to
Wish I could have warned you, I could have sworn
I'd never be at this point
Then when it came, it was much easier to avoid
'Cause you found a comfort
And I did too, I guess
And so we got comfortable with making each other upset
Then we'd wake up, and somehow, reset

You don't need reassurance
To know that you'll be fine
Wish I could tell you that hurt is
much harder to come by
I'll be hurtin', too 

With your resent I cannot undo

Now I hold all responsibility
For the way you are feeling
You can try, try to drink a little more, tune me out a little more
I will try, try to fix what I can fix
Well, maybe you won't even notice

You don't need reassurance
To know that you'll be fine
Wish I could tell you that hurt is
much harder to come by
I'll be hurtin', too 

With your resent I cannot undo
