## Intro
*(Soft piano melody with subtle bass)*
*(Ad-libs: "Yeah... it's like that sometimes...")*
## Verse 1 Trying to decipher All the signs you're showing But with eyes So blurry Can't tell if you're
coming or going
Gripping you tight
try as I might,
I can't keep you,
out of my fucking mind.
(Cry, cry), if I cried all night,
I'd still be trying'
to keep you in sight
But with blurry eyes.
Don't have a line of sight
So dont keep quiet
tell me what you might
Might want from me,
How could I have kept to your reality ,
When your mentally fried,
KFC, but me?
I'm an old soul might as well be 90. Breaking my back for visions of what we could be
Visions of what, I don't know
Blurry eyes and I've lost my soul
And Lady, you know I know
But I'd prefer not to say it, I'll let it show
If we lived in a perfect world, I know you could have seen our future
With less blurry spectacles
But instead I'm trying to decipher all the signs you've been showing,
And you've been messing with my head and keeping me from growing.
## Hook
Blurry eyes, can't see straight
Memories keeping me up late(can't sleep)
Try as I might, can't escape
This feeling I can't shake
*(Background vocals: "Can't shake... can't escape...")*
## Verse 2
Night after night, staring at the ceiling fan,
Wondering where we went wrong, where it all began.
Messages left on read, calls gone to voicemail,
Heart on my sleeve, but time's starting to detail
Every little moment that I thought we shared forever.
You moving on quick while I'm stuck in this weather,
Storm clouds following me, raining on my parade,
While you out there living life like our love never stayed.
I gave you everything, my time and my trust,
Now I'm just another chapter that's collecting dust.
## Bridge
Old soul trapped in these young bones,(old soul)
Fighting demons all alone.
If we'd just communicated better,(b-b-better)
Maybe we'd still be together.
*(Background vocals: "Together... better...")*
## Verse 3
You say I need to move on, leave the past behind,
But these feelings don't just vanish, they're entwined
With every fiber of my being, every breath I take,
Every morning that I struggle just to stay awake.
My friends all tell me that I'm better off without you,
But they don't know the half of what we've been through.
Lady, I still see the person I fell for,
Even when you're pushing me out the door.
Breaking my back just to see you smile one more time,
While you're out there acting like I've committed some crime.
## Hook (Repeat x2)
Blurry eyes, can't see straight
Memories keeping me up late
Try as I might, can't escape
This feeling I can't shake
*(Background vocals: "Can't shake... can't escape...")*
## Outro
Try, try as I might...
*(Piano fades with echoed vocals: "Blurry eyes...")*
*(Heartbeat sound slowing down)*
**Verse 1:**
Blurry blurry eyes the mist marauding my mind muddying my clarity
Killing all visibility
So tell me lady is this your intention
Wanting to end it all
Before we have a chance to flourish
Now only God knows what we coulda been
If only you tried to nourish
But now it's too late
You can't revive a plant (can't revive love)
If it's already gone (roots are cut)
**Chorus:**
Try to decipher all the signs you've been showing
You've been messing with my head and keeping me from growing
Try to decipher what you said and what you mean
You've been messing with my head, it's all I can see
**Verse 2:**
14 months this October (winter)
The world only grows colder (where is the love)
Every day we're getting older (older)
Each and every day that passes (oh, oh)
Lessens our chances,
Chances to be together (oh, oh, oh)
So why make me
Try to deliver if
You feel, the way that you say you do
Feel the way you did before I met you
Now all I can do is try
**Chorus:**
Try to decipher all the signs you've been showing
You've been messing with my head and keeping me from growing
Try to decipher what you said and what you mean
You've been messing with my head, it's all I can see
**Bridge:**
Your words say stay but your actions push away
One moment cold, then warm the very next day
Mixed signals flashing like broken traffic lights
Leaving me standing at the crossroads of my life
What am I supposed to believe?
When everything you do contradicts what you speak
**Verse 3:**
Memory fades like photographs in sun
Promises dissolve before they've begun
I reach out to touch what I thought was real
Only to find emptiness is all I feel
Your puzzle pieces never seem to fit
This maze of emotions I can't navigate it
Tell me straight, no more games to play
Cause I can't keep living this way
**Final Chorus:**
Still trying to decipher all the signs you've been showing
You've been messing with my head and keeping me from growing
Try to decipher what you said and what you mean
You've been messing with my head, it's all I can see
**Outro:**
The fog begins to lift, clarity comes through
Maybe what needs deciphering isn't you
But why I keep trying when the answer's clear
The only message that matters is I'm still here
supposed to believe?
When everything you do contradicts what you speak
**Verse 3:**
Memory fades like photographs in sun
Promises dissolve before they've begun
I reach out to touch what I thought was real
Only to find emptiness is all I feel
Your puzzle pieces never seem to fit
This maze of emotions I can't navigate it
Tell me straight, no more games to play
Cause I can't keep living this way
**Final Chorus:**
Still trying to decipher all the signs you've been showing
You've been messing with my head and keeping me from growing
Try to decipher what you said and what you mean
You've been messing with my head, it's all I can see
**Outro:**
The fog begins to lift, clarity comes through
Maybe what needs deciphering isn't you
But why I keep trying when the answer's clear
The only message that matters is I'm still here
