Dying In The Subtlety

(album: Deadpan Love - 2021)

I can see your breath in the window
Written "I'm sorry"
You're fogging up friendship
I don't wanna say it back
Do I need this stress or a symbol?
I don't know, probably
The fate of my conscience
Never thought much of that

Could be easier to drive you bad
Like I'm Jason Statham
Do I know how to keep it all intact? (No)

I think I'm dying in the subtlety
Lying 'bout the worst of me
I just wanna stay on track
Crying like it hurts to be
What we wanted initially
Why don't you just cut some slack?

Like peaches, apple pie or strawberry cream
It's like you haven't tasted pain and suffering
To drive it home in words easily explained
Love is just a passion with a four letter name

Could be easier to make you mad
Just need a little more pressure
The indecision couldn't make you crack
Like it was now or never
Would you pretend to see the pain I lack?
Just for the simple pleasure
Could make a movie out of laughs we had

I think I'm dying in the subtlety
Lying 'bout the worst of me
I just wanna stay on track
Crying like it hurts to be
What we wanted initially
Why don't you just cut some slack?
