Tell me it straight, I'll pretend to compromise
Coughing up blood, rub my tear-stained blurry eyes
Ooh, you say you're never too fond of the way I hold it all inside
That's why you've got your pullstring jacket on
[Chorus]
Oh, I don't mind
I'm holding out for brighter skies
Where you and I
Our thoughts begin to harmonize
You gave me one too many reasons why I came back
Two too many reasons why I retract
I don't mind, I am waiting on the other side
[Verse 2]
Serve it on the rocks when we feel some kind of peace
Cursing in the house, and it brings you to your knees
Ooh, you say it's taking some time to pretend you're doing fine today
That's why I've gotta take a holiday
[Chorus]
Oh, I don't mind
I'm holding out for brighter skies
Where you and I
Our thoughts begin to harmonize
You gave me one too many reasons why I came back
Two too many reasons why I retract
I don't mind, I am waiting on the other side
[Verse 3]
Giving my time in a month-long summer daze
You're on the top of my mind and I hope that feeling stays
Ooh, I'm scared I'll never be enough and we're falling out of love today
That's why I've got my pullstring jacket on
[Chorus]
Oh, I don't mind
I'm holding out for brighter skies
Where you and I
Our thoughts begin to harmonize
You gave me one too many reasons why I came back
Two too many reasons why I retract
I don't mind, I am waiting on the other side
[Outro]
Oh, I'll be fine
We'll get better if we give it time
