From the recording Split
Lyrics
Gratitude is hard
Platitudes are easy
You tell me that I’m nice
But you never wanna see me
You spread my name around
Ask people how they view me
But when it comes to us
You’d rather watch it in a movie
Skies are blue
And lies aren’t true
If you say something nice
I’ll see right through
You never give your time
But often your attention’s
Split between the universe
Of now and who we were then
You say I broke your heart
But there’s another story
We gave ourselves away too quickly
Own the moment for me
You said I was the one
But now just say you love me
What happened changed your feelings
Now you don’t want nothing from me
Skies are blue
And lies aren’t true
If you say something nice
I’ll see right through
You never give your time
But often your attention’s
Split between the universe
Of now and who we were then
Ah - Ah - Ah - Ah - Ah
Dah - Dah - Dah- Dah - Dah
Ah - Ah - Ah - Ah - Ah
If you say something nice
I’ll see right through
Ah - Ah - Ah - Ah - Ah
Dah - Dah - Dah- Dah - Dah
Ah - Ah - Ah - Ah - Ah
Turn this thing around
I want a different story
You keep showing up
And it is doing nothing for me
You’re messing with my mind
And that is gonna bore me
I want to start again…
Will you shut the door please
Skies are blue
And lies aren’t true
If you say something nice
I’ll see right through
You never give your time
And always your attention’s
Split between the universe
Of now and who we were then
Ah - Ah - Ah - Ah - Ah
Don’t say something nice
Ah - Ah - Ah - Ah - Ah
I’ll see right through
