Bite Back

I hear you laughing in the other room

Two doors between us, oh, it's morning soon

I rolled my eyes to land on ten past nine

Oh God, I gave up, said goodnight, mmm

If I could find the strength of fifty men

Maybe I could go back in again

I'd shrug my shoulders, I'd shake back my hair

I'd be the girl who doesn't care, hmm

You're in a weird mood

And I could smell it

Why do you bite back?

Why are you jealous?

I couldn't reach you

No, not tonight

I'll try tomorrow

I'll try tomorrow

Oh, let me look inside

'Cause under all that fire

There are knots that I can help undo

My dear, I'm only trying to help you

Will you soften to me?

Will you not let me be someone else not getting through?

My dear, I'm only trying

My dear, I'm only trying to help you

Our conversation walks a fine line

I search the room for brows that raise like mine

I seem to be quite used to heavy words

Don't even know why this still hurts, hmm

And when I come to you and say my peace

Don't give me eyes like this is my problem, please

Folded arms and furrowed brows

It's just too late to admit it now, hmm

You're in a weird mood

And I could smell it

Why do you bite back?

Why are you jealous?

I couldn't reach you

No, not tonight

I'll try tomorrow

I'll try tomorrow

Oh, let me look inside

'Cause under all that fire

There are knots that I can help undo

My dear, I'm only trying to help you

Will you soften to me?

Will you not let me be someone else not getting through?

My dear, I'm only trying

My dear, I'm only trying to help you

Mmm-mmm-mmm

Mmm-mmm-mmm

Mmm-mmm-mmm

I couldn't reach you

No, not tonight

I'll try tomorrow

And hope you're kind
