Intro/Chorus:

Would it kill you just to let it all work out?

Tryin' so hard just to break it down.

 I somehow didn't see it till just now, till now.

Verse

Spent that summer feelin' sorry

 Like I thought I'd never get.

To September, so I loved her

 And intend to wait for it.

 Oh, things were shaping up to take a while.

All that waiting, not a single smile.

Oh, and it's so hard.

Verse

 To spend all winter,

 Wantin' summer like you couldn't bear the cold.

Six months later,

 It's a bummer, like it instantly got old.

 Oh, things were playing out just like I thought.

No sense staying, bent over what's not.

Oh, is it so hard?

Chorus

Would it kill you just to let it all work out?

Tryin' so hard just to break it down.

 I somehow didn't see it till just now, till now.

Verse

One day you knew,

 You were letting every worthwhile breath.

 Just pass right through you,

 With each one you drew nearer to death.

Bridge

I've got so much on my plate.

 Sometimes I try not to let it bog me down, I know.

 Oh, everybody told me so, whoa!

Would it kill you just to let it all work out?

Tryin' so hard just to break it down.

 I somehow didn't see it till just now, till now.

Would it kill you just to let it all work out?

Tryin' so hard just to break it down.

 I somehow didn't see it till just now, oh, no whoa!
