Subtleties (Never Giving Up On You)

(album: Further Joy - 2022)

It's nice and simple to let my mind pull it apart
When I wear the bikini that I bought when I was fourteen
Throughout the summer, I learn a little more about ya
Stuck in you forever, it's so much harder than it seems

When's the time I'm gonna say I love you
And know what it really means to let it seep through?
I'm so tired of soaking up the subtleties

But I'm never giving up on you
It's true
I'm never giving up on you

Easy to preach it when you're not naked in the mirror
Yelling affirmations just to find a thing that you believe
I've seen darker, guess you could say it's looking up
'Cause ignorance was bliss until your heart was cut from your sleeve

When's the time I'm gonna say I love you
And know what it really means to let it seep through?
I'm so tired of soaking up the subtleties

But I'm never giving up on you
It's true
I'm never giving up on you
It's true
I'm never giving up on you

Why can't I feel it?
I know it's right there
Almost can taste it
Feel the joy in the air
Why am I so scared
Of looking at my mirror
And seeing who I am?

You
It's true
I'm never giving up on you
It's true
I'm never giving up on you
It's true
I'm never giving up on you
