Olive

(album: The Last Songs I'll Write About You (For Real) - 2023)

I said things out loud
That scared you
You took them how
You wanted to
We came crashing down
And you just couldn't wish the best for me

Instead of making amends
I'm only making a mess
Yeah, it feels like
Every attempt
Only makes me more your enemy
I paint my intentions
Olive green
Offer you nothing

Else but peace
You can do what you want and
Take it or not but
You'll never get a

War out of me
You say that
I don't reach out
But when I do, you shut me down
Yeah there's nothing I can do now
But let you make the worst of all of me
You try to get under my skin
Just enough so I'll react
You push to the edge and

Hope I'll come swinging back
But I'm not here for it
No I'm not here for it
I paint my intentions
Olive green
Offer you nothing

Else but peace
You can do what you want and
Take it or not but
You'll never get a

War out of me
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Lock me up
Break me down
Make me a martyr
I surrender
You push me even harder
I'm not fighting you back
Take all my armor
Where does it end, does it end
Where does it end, does it end
Hmm
