lyrics

Number 1) I had a friend that I lost before spring
And I couldn't think about it 'til I had a reprieve
He was talented and bubbly, he was goofy and tall
But you didn’t really know him at all
I only started grieving at the end of the fall

Number 2) I had a project that was testing my worth
It was queer, it was key to my career, my work
My community was gathering to mourn at The Bird
But I left that all behind me, to ensure you came first
For all that was worth

So it’s my fault that I am hurting
Tried to talk it through, but can’t get a word in
And you can't see it passed yourself
I was asking for help

Number 3) I feel the paperwork is cutting my lungs
Suffocating, and ascending me to heights so high-strung
But I need to keep together, this has to get done
Then you give me all the labour that you didn't work on
Still I stayed, my love

Number 4) I had upset a friend that I care about
And I wanna make amends, but I didn't know how
Alone, and on my mind as I'm driving south
Then I think about another friend I'll never see now
When I called, I will admit that I let it all out

So it’s my fault that I am hurting
Tried to talk it through, but can’t get a word in
And you can't see it passed yourself
I was looking for help
But you thought I was hell

Number 4) Shallow breathing, and I barely can see
And I try to push it forward with a fucked up knee
And your brushing it off, and you say it's on me
All I needed was comforting

Oh I am open page to page
Keep you talking let you say
Anything you need to say
I gave you everything
Apologised for hurting

And you walk away with your closure

Leave me ever the worser

Like it's my fault that we were hurting
Tried to talk it through, but you don't want it working
So you won't see me past yourself
I wanted to help
So you put me through hell

All I ever really wanted was your...
