lyrics

It’s late
and I can’t sleep
I’ve got swollen eyes
sad and restless feet
There’s a flood
Covering half the street
And the cars keep flying down
and sailing off into the deep

I’ve got you on my mind
Isn’t that so… predictable?
Ah, so this is the song I write
Isn’t it so… original

Now I know you’d never lie
Though at times we all stretch the truth
I’m sorry it’s taken me
so damn long
to trust you
We’ve all got low self-esteem
It’s the modern curse
When I was young I got told I loved myself too much
I thought that must be worse

I found it so hard to believe
That love could truly be
…unconditional
So I had to run away
Again and again
Guess I became
Predictable

Is this my story?
Coz it’s not quite
What I thought it would be
Somewhere I got distracted
Somehow lost conviction
It isn’t you, it’s me

Ah, so this is how I fight
Isn’t that so… reprehensible?
You’d think I could hold my own light
Well, at least my weakness is dependable
Yeah, you can depend on me to cry
Isn’t it understandable?
I’m trying to build my own belief
That some day I’ll be capable
