How to Cope

from Taking Sides (album) by Court Hoang

/

lyrics

i was never open to the way that you
played the game exactly how you wanted to
but rules were made for breaking spirits
how to cope is something i can help you learn
broken pieces fit together in their turn

but you don't have the patience to stay on the wagon's charge
i don't know
why you have to go so early in the morning
in the afternoons i get so fucking bored in
this room
bring me with you and i'll show you where to go
but if you want to leave me here then go, go, go

i don't need you half as much as i need something stronger
from johnnie walker

don't you want me now
don't you care
don't you dare

vision's blurring as the night is wearing on
wonder if i'll see the sun before it's gone
again
simple things are never simple if you don't
take the time to recognize you'll never know

and justifying never seems to change the fact that
broken bottles look so much like diamonds sparkling
after fighting i can't even get my brain to start to
tell them apart
