Johanna Warren - Little Red Lines

Well, here I am
I wish you would look away
I'm not the man I thought I was yesterday

I always change
And you stay just the same
You don't get angry, you know I'm not to blame

You say, “You're caught in a war
That you're not gonna win
But if you knock on my door, baby, I just might let you in

I know shit can get real
When you stay in one place
When you sit there and feel what no amount of thinking can erase.”

But I've been doing my best to be doing ok
So lay off, man, I've had a long day

I was afraid
You would see through my smile
And know I can't wait to be alone for a while

You know I love you
And hate to cause you pain
But you're bound to get a little roughed up playing in the lion's mane
From the little red lines
To the wolves at the door
I gave some warning signs that were not so easy to ignore

You say it's easy to change
But I stay just the same
Fickle and strange with one too many tigers to tame

But I've been doing my best to be doing ok
So lay off, man, I've had a long day
Yeah I've been doing my best to be doing ok
So try to understand, I've come a long way
