Hemingway

Hemingway
I'd be the last to say
I've got problems
Embarrassed to admit
That I can't solve them
You know when I'm telling lies
It's impossible to hide
Yeah, you catch me every time
And you call me out
You say

Goddamn, baby, you drink like Hemingway
But your writing's no good, and your songs all sound the same
You gotta give up this act, you don't know how to play
And come back down before it's too late, mm
You gotta come back down before it's too late, mm
You listen, and you judge
I probably need it
You do it out of love
I'm unable to receive it
Yeah, my breath never lies
The disappointment in your eyes
You know all of the signs
And then you call me out, you say
Goddamn, baby, you drink like Hemingway
But your writing's no good, and your songs all sound the same
You better give up this act, you don't know how to play
And come back down before it's too late
You need to come back down 'cause this isn't safe, mm
Letting myself go, crashing at the bottom
There's no light at the end of the bottle
Wasting away like I've got nine lives
Enough is not enough, but my body's saying, "Stop"
So I gotta listen up when you say

Goddamn, baby, you drink like Hemingway
But your writing's no good, and your songs all sound the same
You better give up this act, you don't know how to play
And come back down before it's too late
You need to come back down 'cause this isn't safe
