Julia

(album: A Hard Up Life - 2021)

Oh Julia
Tell me what happened dear
What's happened to those eyes?
Feels like you ain't here

Oh Julia
Girl, you know I promised you
And even after all these years
I swear that I still do

Oh Julia
We're gonna figure this thing out

Well I guess I brushed it off
When I first heard you talk
'Bout the problems you were facing
All alone in there

But now looking in those eyes
I think I've realized
That you weren't ready
For a weight so heavy to bear

Oh Julia
Tell me more about that heart
Is it still steady
Or is it about ready to fall apart?

Oh Julia
If I can be honest here
Mine's on fire and the flames get higher
With all my fears

Oh Julia
We're gonna figure this thing out

Well I guess you just won't talk
'Bout the fact that something's off
About the troubles
You've been keeping to yourself

But now looking in those eyes
Can't help but see inside
Some unspoken years
Of those broken gears, I guess

Oh Julia
Tell me more about that heart
Is it still steady
Or is it about ready to fall apart?

Oh Julia
If I can be honest here
Mine's on fire and the flames get higher
With all my fears

Oh Julia

I guess you think you've lost the fight
We both know that's not right
So keep on swinging
'Til the world starts ringing the bell

Oh Julia
