Caving In Lyrics - Singles - Kimya Dawson

have you ever been swindled by a swindler who lies 

'cause he wants to see you smile, have a good time, be inspired 

and he doesn't want for you to cry or know he cries inside 

so he hides behind his great triumphant rock and roll disguise 

we want things to be real but you really can't deny 

we feel excited and on fire is it wrong to lie and say he's fine 

when the reason he's not fine is the pressure of the power changing lives 

and just for an hour all these people will be better people 

take this job and shove it, adios I'm a ghost 

I am leaving for the coast and I'll never work for anyone again 

I am not your savior or your heavenly host 

I'm just a piece of zwieback toast 

getting soggy in a baby's achin' mouth 

I'm going south like the geese 

I just goosed you and so maybe I seem loose to you 

but I don't even want to screw 

and I did once 

but I don't now 

now that I see how you do things 

the way you play and sing's amazing 

but the way you play the game is crazy 

you don't have to say you're sorry you don't owe me anything 

don't owe me anything 

sometimes it seems like I've got all the answers 

but the answers aren't the same when the questions keep on changing 

like how will I react when I see my mother crying 

every single day 'cause she is afraid of dying? 

and how will I contain my anger 

when Delila plays Unchained Melody instead of Lost In Your Eyes? 

and where will I go where I can feel safe 

when my family sells its place and we all split up and move away? 

I'm trying to be brave 'cause when I'm brave 

other people feel brave 

but I feel like my heart is caving in 

I'm trying to be brave 'cause when I'm brave 

other people feel brave 

but I feel like my heart is caving in 

I'm trying to be brave 'cause when I'm brave 

other people feel brave 

but I feel like my heart is caving in
