I don't cut these roses for the hell of it
I make sure they can never hurt you again
And I don't build these fences 'cause I like the way they stand
I make sure only what you want can come in
But bad weather falls upon the just and the unjust
Nobody asked for this, we're just the consequence so
Try to keep calm as the river surrounds us
It's never worked before and I've never been
Scared like this before
My love is average
My love is mean
My words are savage
Debilitating
And I'll blame my Mother
I'll blame the weather
Before I blame myself
For being so mean
I'm lost behind my eyes, and this
Peace we made tastes bitter
But I'll
Twist my own spine, before
I admit I am lying when I say
I could never change
'Cause my love average
My love is mean
I am reactive
Misunderstanding
And I'll blame my Father
I'll blame the weather
Before I blame myself
For being so mean
When
We were gardens
We were safe
Underground
Now
That we're older
We can either choose
To grow, or
Choose to drown
So why am I average
Why am I mean
A fault in my stars
Now inside of me
You're not my mother
I'm not my father
So why do I feel the need
To remain so mean
