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
