lyrics

lately i'm not feeling much
of anything
lately i'm not getting touched
other than the sun on my skin

and it's hard to describe
it's so damn hard to cry

i wanted this to be
a simple love song
but it's not in me
it's been too long

is there even such a thing
as a love song that doesn't just sting

things rarely go according to the way i plan them anyway

i wanted this to be
a simple love song
i wanted the certainty
a tune to hum along

but nothing came to me
here's to life ending up differently

things rarely go according to the way i plan them anyway
