Say
The Less Lyrics

I don't really play piano
I am not skilled at playing the piano

But I would learn for you
I am willing to learn how to play the piano for you

I'd play from day to night
I would play the piano all day and all night

Until my hands are cracked and dry
I would play the piano until my hands are painful and dry

I'd play your favorite songs
I would play the songs that you like

And write some too
I would even write some songs for you

'Cause every girl I've loved goes crazy
All the girls I have loved in the past become obsessed with me

I say it like a joke, but it's true
I often say it in a joking way, but it is a true fact about my love life

They always seem like they're worth chasing
The girls I love always seem worth pursuing, even if it becomes problematic

By the time my mind is changing
Although I may reconsider my feelings towards a girl, it is usually too late

I think I'd like to be alone with you
I want to be alone with you

I'm not running away the way they do
Unlike the girls I've loved in the past, I am not trying to avoid a difficult situation

I'm not running away
I am not avoiding a tough situation

I'm not running away unless you are too
I would only leave if you do so as well

I don't know who was lying
I am unsure whether my parents, friends, or the truth itself is lying to me

My parents or my friends or the truth
These are the potential sources of the lies that I have encountered

I thought I had it all
I believed I had everything I needed

Until my back's against the wall
I am frustrated and confused by a difficult situation

And I have no one to tell this story to
I feel alone and without anyone to share my story with

So every job I've had feels empty
Since I feel alone and disconnected, even fulfilling jobs feel meaningless

I wish that was a joke, I really do
I wish that my sentiment was a joke, but it is not

Every hour's just another little second we're together
For me, the time we spend together is precious and fleeting

How the hell am I supposed to make it through
I do not know how I will manage to get through this feeling of loneliness and confusion

The craziest one's still loving me
Even the girl who is the craziest about me still loves me

It's so much easier to sleep
It is easy to ignore my problems and fall asleep

Even though they're haunting me
Despite the fact that my problems are weighing on me

The nightmare cannot stand beneath this dream
My dreams and love override any negative experiences I may have had in the past

I'm not running away the way they do
I will not run away from this situation

I'm not running away unless you are too
My commitment to staying depends on yours
