And no matter what you think
the leaves on the ground aren’t hiding anything
this place is still the same yeah
that’s my skin I won’t let anyone under it
color please come back to my face
let me be the first to say
it doesn’t feel like it
but it’s been years
I can see it in the way
you get when I start talking about memories
stop saying that it’s not hard to be happy
bear whatever you want on your shoulders
because there’s you and then there’s me
but it’s so hard to sit up straight when you can’t look forward to anything
it kills me seeing you so hopelessly hopeful
color please come back to my face
let me be the first to say
it doesn’t feel like it
but it’s been years
I can see it in the way
you get when I start talking about memories
stop saying that it’s not hard to be happy
I’m mapping out the rest of my life
I say I’m happy when I’m not
because I hate explaining myself to everyone
I know we have the rest of our lives
but it gets so hard to watch the time go by
to watch the time go by
(I don’t want you thinking that you got to me)
the leaves on the ground aren’t hiding anything
this place is still the same yeah
that’s my skin I won’t let anyone under it
let me be the first to say
it doesn’t feel like it
but it’s been years
I can see it in the way
you get when I start talking about memories
stop saying that it’s not hard to be happy
because there’s you and then there’s me
but it’s so hard to sit up straight when you can’t look forward to anything
it kills me seeing you so hopelessly hopeful
let me be the first to say
it doesn’t feel like it
but it’s been years
I can see it in the way
you get when I start talking about memories
stop saying that it’s not hard to be happy
I say I’m happy when I’m not
because I hate explaining myself to everyone
I know we have the rest of our lives
but it gets so hard to watch the time go by
to watch the time go by
