Wear Me Down

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've gotten good at crying quietly My mouth wide open, hoping you can't hear me Holding my breath, but a lonely sound escapes You kiss my shoulder out of worry [Verse 2] Several hours later, I finally wake up To flowers in a red plastic cup, oh You'd placed them on the kitchen table and left me to stare At the door you'd left unlocked [Chorus] If you're gonna wear me down Wear me down slowly I know it'll all catch up with me Eventually [Verse 3] When you get home, you apologized, waiting for an "it's ok" But your little act of courage instead meets my disdain So I play the fiddle on the roof while you burned Knowing full well we'll never learn [Chorus] If I'm gonna wear you down I'll wear you down slowly But I know it'll all catch up with me Eventually [Bridge] Oh I stitch up the wound But it's too tired to heal It's unclear where We could go from here [Chorus] If I'm gonna wear you down I'll wear you down slowly I know it'll all catch up with me If you're gonna wear me down Wear me down slowly If you're gonna wear me down Wear me down slowly If you're gonna wear me down Wear me down slowly [Outro] I know it'll all catch up with me Eventually
