lyrics

For someone who cries as much as I do
I often have been told
that I’m not very comforting
my blood’s a little cold
cold, cold
I think I get this from my dad
carved out of empathetic stone
does he tell all his feelings to my mom when they’re alone?
alone alone

for me
he simply listens
and feels what I feel
for me he simply listens and feels what I feel

but if I’m like him
and I know I am
and I cry all the time
is it just because he’s a man
he feels he has to keep it all inside
inside
inside?

Or does he tell me his feelings all the time
and I’m not listening
or he would if I asked
and I don’t ever ask
and that’s just being someone’s kid

for me he listens
and feels what I feel
for me
he simply listens
and feels what I feel

My expectations
are all over the place
I like believing
he’ll be the one to fix the things
that hurt me but
I’m seeing more in every phone call
I’m an adult
and we’re more alike than we’ve ever been
I wonder how anxious
I wonder how anxious he gets

I wonder how anxious
But I don’t want to know
