[Verse 1]

Why aren't we just talking straight?

A bed full of books, the wall that it creates

Internal dialogue that trickles down

Into Irish goodbyes and reasonable doubt

I'm old-fashioned for romance

Hopeless and frivolous with finance

And I'll tell him, "Brother, be patient"

Our time will come and our virtues create us

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause we all love what hates us

We all love what hates us

[Chorus]

And the timing was perfect when you thought I was worth it

When excitement was fresh and you worshippеd the surface

Well, I'm still thе same person, I thought I was chosen

Now my worries run deep, they match my devotion

[Verse 2]

Why aren't we just talking straight?

Driving through the gums, my excuse to escape

Depends on who you are, my form will change

Social chameleon, more of an experiment

And maybe I fit too well to start

And now the gaps are making holes that no longer catch your heart

Where it was born on your sleeve

Now you cover it with jackets, makes it easier to leave

[Pre-Chorus]

So you don't feel naive

So you don't feel naive

[Chorus]

And the timing was perfect when you thought I was worth it

When excitement was fresh and you worshipped the surface

Well, I'm still the same person, I thought I was chosen

Now my worries run deep, they match my devotion

And the timing was perfect when you thought I was worth it

When excitement was fresh and you worshipped the surface

Well, I'm still the same person, I thought I was chosen

Now my worries run deep to match my devotion
