With a troubled face you explain
I nod, then you cry because I nearly laugh
You are always more than I can take
So, baby knows
Looking sad with tears in those huge eyes
Pretending to be strong, but
I know it's a transparent lie
Even that is something you understand, too
A little irritated, moving unsteadily
Like this was unintentional
But it is a deceiving feeling
Without composure, there will be more of this from here
You are harder to read than anyone, God knows
This important matter is still unspeakable
Because it seems like we're turning the words around
You are always more than I can take
So, baby knows
Like we're trying to delay
What appears to be a challenge, but
Pretending to try, pretending I don't know
Even that was in your hands, too
A little irritated, moving unsteadily
At a slower pace
But still by your side, ever laughing
Even as the end draws near, there will still be more from here
You are more relentless than anyone, God knows
Looking sad with tears in those huge eyes
Pretending to be strong, but
I know it's a transparent lie
Even that is something you understand, too
A little irritated, moving unsteadily
Like this was unintentional
But it is a deceiving feeling
Without composure, there will be more of this from here
You are harder to read than anyone, God knows
