Drop Lyrics - Red House Painters

So much that I can't say to you 

My voice shakes from the hurt that I hide 

Ashamed of my existence 

And of my petty often wounded pride 

I'd like to come home to see you 

And to catch your sickness by the bedside 

But then you'd know how much I really need you 

All the love in an instant 

Makes my life stop 

But then my hate for you 

Makes my feelings altogether drop 

If only I were blind to your selfish fling 

And your desperate cause 

And didn't press you for the details 

That threaten my physical flaws 

I'd like to come home to see you 

And embrace your illness under soft light 

But then you'd know how much I really need you 

All the love in an instant 

Makes my life stop 

But then my hate for you 

Makes my feelings altogether drop 

So much that I can say to you 

With affection that I burn inside 

You're aching from the distance 

Avoiding strain that's running still alive 

If only I could heal you 

In the sprinkling of the ocean side 

But then you'd know how much I really love you 

All the love in an instant 

Makes my life stop 

But then my hate for you 

Makes my feelings altogether drop
