lyrics

I never gave back and showed you how to write.
I never gave back and showed you how to set it aside.
I never gave back and told you you don’t know how to lie.
But the west never talks about the east.
And you never ask me to act favorably.

I never made up.
I always caught you in distress when the fault was mine.
Like a bad stomach ache I thought it’d be better if I didn’t speak.
We go to bed; you touch my hand and I think it’s all going to be fine.
But it’s only as cold as your thickest suit.
And you don’t see how I’ll ever defend you.

You never gave up and I appreciate that, honestly.
My temperature’s rising and that’s how I know I am in envy.
Of all of the love and attention that you gave me.
That all this is mine, and I won’t equalize, no
So I’ll thank you for it.
