I'm overmatched, undermanned
I'm trying hard to understand
Crushed beneath and once of hope and flattened by your heavy hand
I know you're giving it your everything, you're letting me down.
You she's gone for the good of all of us
And so I should be thankful for the light that lies ahead and be it understood
That I have everything while everything is letting me down.
♪
You say in love we tend to hide
We lose ourselves, we die inside
Devotion takes the place of self reliance
Soon will follow pride
And that is why I cannot listen to you
Grandma not now.
I never lost myself at all
I may have slipped, I didnt fall
I never hid, I didn't die, my pride's intact
I'm standing tall
I gave her everything till everything was letting her down.
I don't know if she understands,
Or ever will
But I know that we're better off,
And better still.
Ohhhh
I hear that she's laughing more,
Then she had been
So I know thather bitter heart
Is sweat again.
♪
May it put your mind to rest
My worry lies with her investing
All she had in someone so alone
Is not the healthiest
Not that I grew, not that i thrived
Beside a woman so sour.
Oh I had more to give, I know
I guess I just assumed she'd lower
Certain expectations given life
Had flung me to and thro
And it was all that I could do to stop
From shutting right down.
I should have told her, I confess
Your bitter heart is such a mess
And every little drop of blood,
And ounce of love, a pound of stress
She never mentioned that was something
That was bringing her down.
I dont know if she understands,
Or ever will
But I know that she's better off,
And better still
Ohhhh
I hear that she's laughing more
Than she had been
So I know that her bitter heart
Is sweet again.
