Swell
Pivit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I'm sick of trying and it feels like the end has just begun
Even though I'm hurting I want you to be the one
Share my world and understand my pain.

You needed to me to open but I kept on running from
All those deep emotions.
Can't you see It's not so fucking
Easy to express
My point of view.

And you'll never ever know because of things I
Could not show I just wish I could stop this
World for you to show how I felt was true.

(Still I know you doubt it) even though were both to blame. There's no way around it.

All those hidden thoughts that spin around
My head of how things use to be.
You could have made it easy for me to open up to you if you could of seen inside me.




I couldn't let my feelings through to you.
It's so hard to let go.
