Switchblade lyrics

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
