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
