You're Tender And You're Tired
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're so fragile tonight
Been up hurting all night
It's not trivial like they think
Yes you're desperate and hurt
Thought about it so many times
Too afraid to open your eyes
To see the sadness that's inside
Just sit back in and stop time
You're tender and you're tired
You can't be bothered to decide
Whether you live or die
Or just forget about your life
But it's too late to be real
No time to be strong enough
Just time to leave it all behind
Memory has become pain
Rebuild the void with flowers
Sad eye destruction built around sand and sea
Yes you can build yourself around
Build yourself around me
You're tender and you're tired
You can't be bothered to decide
Whether you live or doe
Or just forget about your life
Drift away and die
Never say goodbye
Drift away and die
