Relying on raw emotion and subtle strings to obtain brief moments of positivity in between darker episodes of self-doubt, “Typical” creates an atmospheric tension with rhythmic piano keys ticking away in the background. Morgan sings her soul with haunting vocals, creating space for an honest composi...
[Verse 1]
How typical of us is this
I talk and you act like you're listening
And while I pour my heart out, you count your fingertips
Or stare down at your feet clearly disinterested
[Verse 2]
How poetic that we end this way
'Cause you and your closed mind weren't going to change
You were just a cynic, never in it for the long haul
No, I don't really mind, it's fine if we leave it all
[Chorus]
'Cause, it's hard
To love someone who doesn't want to be loved hard
To love someone who always keeps a guard up
Who's scared of letting you in
And, it's hard
To love someone who's too afraid to show love hard
Who pulls away as soon as they feel too much
Who's scared off letting you in
[Verse 3]
My cards are down, now it's your turn
Oh, what a surprise that you can't find the right words
Or any words at all
We sit here in silence, here's one thing I know I won't ever miss
[Chorus]
'Cause, it's hard
To love someone who doesn't want to be loved hard
To love someone who always keeps a guard up
Who's scared of letting you in
And, it's hard
To love someone who's too afraid to show love hard
Who pulls away as soon as they feel too much
Who's scared off letting you in
[Outro]
I hope you find a way to open up
I feel sad for you
You said that you can't imagine getting close to anyone
It's just easier for you
It's hard
It's hard to love someone who doesn't wanna be loved

I wrote Typical as an ‘eye roll and exit’ song, loosely inspired by activist Gina Martin’s wise words: ‘Loving someone shouldn’t make you feel like you need to make yourself more loveable. You shouldn’t have to work to convince someone to love you and want to spend time with you. Your relationship,...
