stalemate Lyrics

Why don't you wanna be around me when you're sad, baby?

I wanna ask you, but I know you'll just fall back

So I make stories up, and, in my head, you tell me they're the truth

So used to all the eggshells on the floor, me and you

Oh, the more I pour, the emptier your cup

Baby, you're still halfway out the door with every drop

And I don't have very much of myself left, but could you wait up?

'Cause I'd still give you all the rest of me, and then some

Ended up in stalemate, somehow

Gave you all my pieces, and the benefit of the doubt

Wasted so much time, wearing myself down

Now here we are in stalemate, somehow, somehow, somehow

Oh, I've started to believe the words you weaved and made me wear

But I think they're better suited for you, if we're being fair

My reflection isn't mine at all, it's something you projected

Just too fed up with yourself to accept it, no

Ended up in stalemate, somehow

Gave you all my pieces, and the benefit of the doubt

Wasted so much time, wearing myself down

Now here we are in stalemate, somehow, somehow, somehow

Ended up in stalemate, somehow

Gave you all my pieces, and the benefit of the doubt

Wasted so much time, wearing myself down

Now here we are in stalemate, somehow, somehow, somehow

Babe, I'm sick of getting hurt

Sick of living in this world

Where you're my end all be all and my final word

I was scared that I might lose

But I've done all I can do, baby

Looks like it's your turn to make a move

Babe, I'm sick of getting hurt

Sick of living in this world

Where you're my end all be all and my final word

I was scared that I might lose

But I've done all I can do, baby

Looks like it's your turn to make a move
