Little More Little Less

I haven't taken a breath in a year or so
Hoping to rest
I go on break from the resting in my bed
Talking on the phone
And as it turns out
I'm so much happier when I'm alone now

I say it out and you cry a river for me
I say it loud and you scream a threat of loneliness

And I'm hearing you out
'Cause I am scared of droughts
Of love and of patience
And suddenly
You got me thinking

If you love me enough
It'll work
But I love you a

Little more little less
Every other day
What a mess
When you hear me say it

Little more little less
Leaning either way
What a mess
Even if I fake it

I say it louder again
And hope that you understand
But then you threaten your life
And look at that
We're exactly what I feared
Exactly a year ago

When I said
"Promise me this never happens"
I meant it
I meant it
I meant it

But still
Even after everything
You got me thinking

If you love me enough
It'll work
But I love you a

Little more little less
Every other day
What a mess
When you hear me say it

Little more little less
Leaning either way
What a mess
Even if I fake it

The question of it all
What do I want
What do I need

Did I need to sing a song
What do I want
What do I need

'Cause I'm tired of it
Wired up but
I don't wanna fire up

Another breakdown bout
Listening along now
It's been 10 whole months

Of me hearing you out
So don't dare tell me I'm not
'Cause I've been hearing you out

Little more little less
Every other day
What a mess
When you hear me say it

Little more little less
Leaning either way
What a mess
Even if I fake it

I've been hearing you out for over a year
Listen, I'm sorry
I'd rather regret leaving
Than regret staying
