It’s always easier to under-react
And all your secrets hidden under the latch
Always keep saying you’re done with the past
Robbed of sleep from trying to cover your tracks

I remember the day that we met
And how you trembled the pace of your breath
How it said that you were scared to death
How your stare was harboring your regrets
Unprepared to follow all of the steps
You needed change and you were trying your best
You needed patience and a day to rest
A different pace, a different place to nest
A listening face to get it off of your chest
And from the get-go I should’ve said yes
And helped you let go of all of your stress
I only said no to not be a pest
Oh, how forgetful to not see the test
How uneventful to never obsess
Oh, oh

How uneventful

You should have told me you needed me there
That you were lonely and needed repair
You shouldn’t hold me for trying to be fair
But would the old me have given a care
I didn’t notice the sleeve that you wear
And how your open heart was easy to tear
I wasn’t bold enough or even aware
I was too cold to feel the heat in the air
If I could go back, I’d be there I swear
Oh, oh

I’d be there I swear, oh, oh
I’d be there I swear, I swear, oh, oh

Always easier to under-react
And all your secrets hidden under the latch
Always keep saying you’re done with the past
Robbed of sleep from trying to cover your tracks
Falling deeper in your troubling path
Oh, oh
