You were always one to say
Little phrases every day
I believed all of it
Thought that love was in the air
Turns out it was everywhere
I just caught some of it
But we tried, yeah we tried, oh we tried to work it out
But the hurt from the work and trying never leveled out
I can always come on back for more but I'll still have my doubts
So I think it's only better girl if we knew what we were all about
If hope could talk it'd say back the hell off
From all of your love or whatever you thought it was
If peace could speak it'd say rescue me
I'm trapped in a cage and there's no escape
I might wake up in a sweat
Dream of days when we first met
How's it feel, happiness
Silence used to work its charm
When you'd try to get ahead but
Now we're stuck wanting less
But if it rains every day from here on out it might be worse
Though the pain I've endured from staying babe it really hurts
I'm not certain of the future but I know just how this works
Did we ever really love each other girl, I really beg to defer
If hope could talk it'd say back the hell off
From all of your love or whatever you thought it was
If peace could speak it'd say rescue me
I'm trapped in a cage and there's no escape
