Wear Me Down Lyrics, Letra:
Verse 1
I’ve gotten good at crying quietly
My mouth wide open, hoping you can’t hear me
Holding my breath, but a lonely sound escapes
You kiss my shoulder out of worry
Verse 2
Several hours later, I finally wake up
To flowers in a red plastic cup, oh
You’d placed them on the kitchen table and left me to stare
At the door you’d left unlocked
Chorus
If you’re gonna wear me down
Wear me down slowly
I know it’ll all catch up with me
Eventually
Verse 3
When you get home, you apologized, waiting for an “it’s ok”
But your little act of courage instead meets my disdain
So I play the fiddle on the roof while you burned
Knowing full well we’ll never learn
Chorus
If I’m gonna wear you down
I’ll wear you down slowly
But I know it’ll all catch up with me
Eventually
Bridge
Oh I stitch up the wound
But it’s too tired to heal
It’s unclear where
We could go from here
Chorus
If I’m gonna wear you down
I’ll wear you down slowly
I know it’ll all catch up with me
If you’re gonna wear me down
Wear me down slowly
If you’re gonna wear me down
Wear me down slowly
If you’re gonna wear me down
Wear me down slowly
Outro
I know it’ll all catch up with me
Eventually
