paris monster - grandma lyrics

Loading...

{verse 1]
i’m overmatched, undermanned
i’m trying hard to understand
crushed beneath an ounce of hope and flattened by your heavy hand
i know you’re giving it your everything. you’re letting me down

you say she’s gone for the good of all of us and so i should
be thankful for the life that lies ahead, and be it understood:
that i have everything. well, everything is letting me down

[verse 2]
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 didn’t fall
i never hid. i didn’t die. my pride’s intact. i’m standing tall
i gave her everything til everything was letting her down

[chorus]
i don’t know if she understands, or ever will
but i know that we’re better off, and better still:
i hear that she’s laughing more than she had been
so i know that her bitter heart is sweet again

[verse 3]
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 -ssumed she’d lower certain expectations
given life had flung me to and fro
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
in every little drop of blood
an ounce of love; a pound of stress
she never mentioned i was something that was weighing her down

[chorus]
i don’t know if she understands, or ever will
but i know that we’re better off, and better still:
i hear that she’s laughing more than she had been
so i know that her bitter heart is sweet again

[ad lib]
sweet again
oh sweet again
sweet again
oh sweet again
