Lyrics A Hard One to Know - Benjamin Gibbard

You call a truce and then you start a fight
You change your signals like traffic light
'Cause you're a hard one to know
Around your heart you've tied a fishing line
And you cast it out there just to see who bites
'Cause you're a hard one to know

I toss and turn but I just can't get to sleep
When I start thinking 'bout what you do to me
You're like a flower garden buried in snow
You're a hard one to know

You give your love our like an auctioneer
Your moves are jumpy and your words aren't clear
'Cause you're a hard one to know
First you smother than you disengage
Your tears of joy dissolve to tears of rage
'Cause you're a hard one to know

I toss and turn but I just can't get to sleep
When I start thinking 'bout what you do to me
You drag your feet as you swing to and fro
You're a hard one to know

And I try to love you but You Won't let me be
You say it's ending before it can begin
You tell me to stay and then you tell me to go
You're a hard one to know
