Wear Me Down Lyrics

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

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 left unlocked

If you're gonna wear me down

Wear me down slowly

I know it'll all catch up with me

Eventually

When you get home you apologize, waiting for an "it's ok"

But your little act of courage instead meets my disdain

So I play fiddle on the roof while you burn

Knowing full well we'll never learn

If I'm gonna wear you down

I'll wear you down slowly

But I know it'll all catch up with me

Eventually

I stitch up the wound

But it's too tired to heal

It's unclear

Where we could go from here

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

I know it'll all catch up with me

Eventually
