lyrics

if only for a moment
it stings and goes away
a small tear is an easy mend
and i can hide behind these stories
do my little song and dance
why should you care about all my failed experiments

why can't i be honest with you

it's eating up my insides
but i'll keep spitting out the bile
so there's no forgetting just how sad you really are
and i'll maybe make a dollar
or take a dollar from your hand
so you can feel like my defeat is your own experience

why can't i be honest with you

i've got to be more open
to the good things i could have
i've got to be more open
kick these shoes off in the sand
