Lyrics Wear Me Down - MALINDA

I've gotten good at crying quietly
My mouth wide open, hoping you can't hear me
Holding my breath, but a lonely sound escapes
You kiss my shoulder out of worry

Several hours later, I finally wake up
To flowers in a red plastic cup, oh, you'd
Placed them on the kitchen table and left me to stare
At the door you left unlocked

If you're gonna wear me down
Wear me down slowly
I know it'll all catch up with me
Eventually

When you get home, you apologize, waiting for an "It's ok", but your
Little act of courage instead meets my disdain, so I
Play the fiddle on the roof while you burn
Knowing full well, you'll never learn

If I'm gonna wear you down
I'll wear you down slowly
But I know it'll all catch up with me
Eventually

Oh, I stitch up the wound
But it's too tired to heal
It's unclear
Where we could go from here

If I'm gonna wear you down
I'll wear you down slowly
I know it'll all catch up with me

If you're gonna wear me down
Wear me down slowly
If you're gonna wear me down
Wear me down slowly

If you're gonna wear me down
Wear me down slowly
I know it'll all catch up with me
Eventually
