She was on the way to her apartment
Walking on the switchblade
Both of us headed in the same direction
I could hear what she was saying
Why do I get so down?
Oh, I get so down
Her father was a man of a thousand excuses
Never tried to make it right
She learned not to flinch
Even with all those bruises
Hoping things would change in time
I know you get so down
(It’s harder harder than you think)
Oh, I get so down
(It’s hard to receive)
I know you get so down
(It’s harder than you think)
I can’t pretend to know which way you should go
Now you walk alone to a broken melody
And I don’t want to fix you
I just want you to be free
But all you love is locked in a dream
And now you’re ready to give up this time
I know you get so down
(It’s harder harder than you think)
Oh, I get so down
(It’s hard to receive)
Oh, you get so down
(It’s harder than you think)
I can’t pretend to know which way you should go
I know you get so down
(It’s harder harder than you think)
Oh, you get so down
(It’s hard to receive)
I know you get so down
You were on the way to your apartment
Walking with a switchblade
Both of us looking for some kind of direction
I could hear you when you said
I know you get so down
