We could spend the seasons, and yeah call it "Love"
I could keep believing this is what I want
Greater than the riots, dead, and growing poor
I can't keep on lying to myself no more
I am not present - for you
Only a listless fit of pity on the move
And you can try, try, try
To get beneath me
But I don't see this as you do
Hell, I don't think I want to, no
Pushing made-up loving don't make happy homes
Building expectation leave your blankets cold
I see you with your shovel; you ain't digging in
This ain't love you've found; this is frozen ground
This ain't love you've found; this is frozen ground
This ain't love you've found; this is frozen ground
I know you're ready
You're feeling you want to go steady, love
But my heart is heavy
And I feel like it's never mending
I want to be with you
But maybe some other life
Cause' I'm done pretending
That I'm understanding
That things will turn out fine
Pushing made up loving don't make happy homes
Building expectation leave your blankets cold
I see you with your shovel; you ain't digging in
This ain't love you've found; this is frozen ground
This ain't love you've found; this is frozen ground
This ain't love you've found; this is frozen ground
There's a bitter taste to this truth
Something that will always stay with you
You don't have to fight, it's alright
I will always love and respect you
Maybe I'm not ready - I talk shit
Cover my fears, with these lies
I can't make it out, so I flaunt this
Calm & dispassionate guise
