Jake Brewer - Short version of a longer story
00
Copied!
You hated the ivy that grew on your family’s Brooklyn home
You swore we’d get a new place but I thought it’s where we'd grow old
Bandaged all your wounds just to leave mine exposed
But you drove your knife where you knew it would hurt the most
But you took it as precedent
That I was doing the saving
But while you stay afloat
Did you see me drowning?
Airing out our laundry in all of it’s glory
Secrets can’t be kept when your love is predatory
Empty are the crates marked for her eyes only
It’s only fair for me to share
The short version of a longer story
A longer story
What was I scared of, was it falling in love or not?
'Cause you can’t hide an affair that’s already done
You swore we’d get a new place but I thought it’s where we'd grow old
Bandaged all your wounds just to leave mine exposed
But you drove your knife where you knew it would hurt the most
But you took it as precedent
That I was doing the saving
But while you stay afloat
Did you see me drowning?
Airing out our laundry in all of it’s glory
Secrets can’t be kept when your love is predatory
Empty are the crates marked for her eyes only
