Rough and Tender
Don't tell 'em I'm gone
Or that I packed up all the sheets I dreamed on
I thought I'd wait for a sign
But if there's one thing this world ain't, it's divine
Held up, held back, by some old ghost
And all we do is argue about who hates it the most
Tell me how I'm supposed to feel these days
I'm tearing down the middle, can't leave or stay
I'm always gonna rock every time you roll
Rough and tender in the same sad soul
I'll make you leave me on the side of the road
Before I let you break your back carrying my load
The better angels of our nature never come through,
They're always rough with me
I need it tender from you
I'm a sucker for trust
And the way it brings the heartache out of us
The wool is over our eyes
The prophets are hawking scriptures they know are lies
I tried pretending that it all was enough
Who told you I was any good at this stuff?
Tell me how I'm supposed to feel these days
I'm tearing down the middle, can't leave or stay
I'm always gonna rock every time you roll
Rough and tender in the same sad soul
I'll make you leave me on the side of the road
Before I let you break your back carrying my load
The better angels of our nature never come through,
They're always rough with me
I need it tender from you
Trading piles of extremes,
They're testing the seams,
I don't want to admit
This is only the half of it
Still lost in the light
Crowns never fit right
Who's gonna pay our rent while we bitch about who's president?
How are we holding on?
How are brains losing to brawn?
Every conclusion foregone
In the echoes of right and wrong
Tell me how I'm supposed to feel these days
I'm tearing down the middle, can't leave or stay
I'm always gonna rock every time you roll
Rough and tender in the same sad soul
I'll make you leave me on the side of the road
Before I let you break your back carrying my load
The better angels of our nature never come through,
They're always rough with me
I need it tender from you
I need it tender from you
I need it tender from you
Or that I packed up all the sheets I dreamed on
I thought I'd wait for a sign
But if there's one thing this world ain't, it's divine
Held up, held back, by some old ghost
And all we do is argue about who hates it the most
Tell me how I'm supposed to feel these days
I'm tearing down the middle, can't leave or stay
I'm always gonna rock every time you roll
Rough and tender in the same sad soul
I'll make you leave me on the side of the road
Before I let you break your back carrying my load
The better angels of our nature never come through,
They're always rough with me
I need it tender from you
I'm a sucker for trust
And the way it brings the heartache out of us
The wool is over our eyes
The prophets are hawking scriptures they know are lies
I tried pretending that it all was enough
Who told you I was any good at this stuff?
Tell me how I'm supposed to feel these days
I'm tearing down the middle, can't leave or stay
I'm always gonna rock every time you roll
Rough and tender in the same sad soul
I'll make you leave me on the side of the road
Before I let you break your back carrying my load
The better angels of our nature never come through,
They're always rough with me
I need it tender from you
Trading piles of extremes,
They're testing the seams,
I don't want to admit
This is only the half of it
Still lost in the light
Crowns never fit right
Who's gonna pay our rent while we bitch about who's president?
How are we holding on?
How are brains losing to brawn?
Every conclusion foregone
In the echoes of right and wrong
Tell me how I'm supposed to feel these days
I'm tearing down the middle, can't leave or stay
I'm always gonna rock every time you roll
Rough and tender in the same sad soul
I'll make you leave me on the side of the road
Before I let you break your back carrying my load
The better angels of our nature never come through,
They're always rough with me
I need it tender from you
I need it tender from you
I need it tender from you
