Would It Kill You?

Would it kill you just to let it all work out?

Tryin' so hard just to break it down

All summer I didn't see it till just now, till now

Spent that summer feelin' sorry

Like I thought I'd never get

To September so I loved her

And intend to wait for it

Oh, things were shaping up to take a while

All that waiting, not a single smile

Oh, and it's so hard

To spend all winter

Wantin' summer like you couldn't bear the cold

Six months later

To form it like it instantly got old

Oh, things were playing out just like I thought

No sense staying, bent over what's not

Oh, is it so hard?

Would it kill you just to let it all work out?

Tryin' so hard just to break it down

All summer I didn't see it till just now, till now

When they kill you

You were letting every worthwhile breath

Just pass right through you

With each one you drew nearer to death

I've got so much on my plate

Sometimes I try not to let it drag me down, I know

Oh, everybody told me so

Would it kill you just to let it all work out?

Tryin' so hard just to break it down

All summer I didn't see it till just now, till now

Would it kill you just to let it all work out?

'Cause you're tryin' so hard just to break it down

All summer I didn't see it till just now, oh, now
