Would It Kill You? lyrics

[Intro]
Would it kill you just to let it all work out?
Trying so hard just to break it down
I somehow didn't see it 'til just now, 'til now

[Verse 1]
Spent that summer feeling sorry
Like I thought I'd never get to September
So I loafed around, intent to wait for it
Oh, things were shaping up to take a while
All that waiting, not a single smile

Oh, and it's so hard

[Verse 2]
To spend all winter
Wanting summer like you couldn't bear the cold
Six months later, it's a bummer
Like it instantly got old
Oh, things were playing out just like I thought
No sense staying bent over what's not

Oh, is it so hard?

[Chorus]
Would it kill you just to let it all work out?
Trying so hard just to break it down
I somehow didn't see it 'til just now, 'til now
[Verse 2]
One day you knew
You were letting every worthwhile breath
Just pass right through you
With each one, you drew nearer to your death
I've got so much on my plate
Sometimes, I try not to let it bog me down, I know
Oh, everybody told me so

[Chorus]
Would it kill you just to let it all work out?
Trying so hard just to break it down
I somehow didn't see it 'til just now, 'til now

Would it kill you just to let it all work out?
Trying so hard just to break it down
I somehow didn't see it 'til just now, oh no!
