wtf from Midwinter by Schmaltzloop

In your shoes
You're stumped
What the fuck
Could I care
To endear you?

Your eyes
Are there
Why the hell
Should I care
If you're watching?

7 songs through, this one's most new
And I feel that I've grown
Of course it's all in ebbs and flows
Though the lyrics I joked
Before in fear now sound sincere

And I babble nonsense and land on tunes
Integrate your words with mine
'Cus I'm lying when I censor and I cringe to say you're right
And in honesty I gave it all
There's nothing that you gain to hide

All signs
Are there
If I kept you I'd
Be last
To admit to your design

You're tired
That's fair
Why would I
Stay here
If I'm wasting our time

It'll be more simple, it'll be more true
Let it all fall through
(They'll never know, they'll never know)

And on the day I cut the chase they shrug and say
"You've always been that way"
(You'll never know, you'll never—)

It was always simple, it was always you
And you slipped right through my mind
Beneath the staves, a latent state against my better judgement
Peers from out my eyes
How your vantage tells a thousand better lives
I'll then surmise to sappy vices by sarcastic subtle stares
And so you hid a thousand years beneath the ice
(Look again)

Never thought it back and never saw a reason to
And wandered in the path of least resistance just to distance you
Could've I known better?
Tunneled sight, midwinter weather?
Didn't dare to look so long I never knew you didn't care
You'll pass the part and break the ice and make it ours
All so that they can't say what's better
Stand to dance in fluffy sweaters and

In your shoes
You're stumped
What the fuck
Could I care
To endear you?

Your eyes
Are there
Why the hell
Should I care
If you're watching?

(What the fuck could I care to endear you?)

Take another breather and pass the time~
