lyrics

The harder you squeeze
The more likely to burst
The harder you love
The deeper it hurts

You always said
"Proud but not surprised"
Look at me now, you must be
Shocked and unimpressed
And now I'm all depressed
They say "Quit while you're ahead"
So I'm trying to decide
Should I just give it up already?
Will I never learn to use the hands you gave me?

The reality is these aren't your choices to make
We start at either end
We come to the same place

You always said
"Proud but not surprised"
Look at me now, you must be
Shocked and unimpressed
And now I'm all depressed
They say "Quit while you're ahead"
So I'm trying to decide
Should I just give it up already?
Will I never learn to use the hands you gave me?

I've got a voice in the back of my head
It's making it painfully clear
Whatever I came looking for I'm never gonna find it here
I've got a voice in the back of my head
And it's making it painfully clear
Whatever I came looking for I'm never gonna find it here

You always said
"Proud but not surprised"
Look at me now, you must be
Shocked and unimpressed
And now I'm all depressed
They say "Quit while you're ahead"
So I'm trying to decide
Should I just give it up already?
Will I never learn to use the hands you gave me?
The hands you gave me
The hands you gave me
The hands you gave me
