Oh, tell me, please, if it's not your disease
I guess it must be mine
And I can never hammer out why there's hardly any doubt
We wind up back here every time

I want to give you everything that you deserve
It's so confusing to unwind
Your love can be bold
It can be bitter, can be sold
And sometimes it withers on the vine

Don't look at me like there's something more to see
I showed myself to you
And you didn't mind the sting or the way it made you sing
I never hid you from the truth
If we could break the back of this tyrant
would we flame out or still shine?
Is it for the lack of whole-hearted
trying that we hurt ourselves each time?

I want to give you everything that you deserve
It's so confusing to unwind
Your love can be bold
It can be bitter, can be sold
And sometimes it withers on the vine

I want to give you everything that you deserve
It's so confusing to unwind
Your love can be bold
It can be bitter, can be sold
And sometimes it withers on the vine

Sometimes it withers on the vine
Sometimes it withers on the vine
