You say I kiss the bottle more that I kiss you
And lately you've been needing something like a parachute
Because you feel like you've been falling
I leave first thing in the morning
And we're scraping at the barrel just to stop the bailiffs calling

I've been trying to tell myself it's just a temporary season
And I guess that growing pains are given that name for a reason
It's no fairy tale love, and I don't say it enough
But I swear my love is permanent and all I want is us

Sometimes you cry in the daytime
And although you try to hide it
I know sometimes God laughs when we make plans
And it's hard to understand why
Sometimes it's dark in the daylight
When there's blue skies
And I know sometimes we cry (we cry)
We cry (we cry)
And it's hard to understand why

And it's hard to understand why

Now I can fix you dinner, but I can't fix you
I couldn't find the recipe and I've been hurting too
Because I feel like I've been falling
And it came on without warning
And I'm cursing my own footsteps when I leave you in the morning

I've been trying to tell myself it's just a temporary season
And I guess that growing pains are given that name for a reason
It's no fairy tale love, and I don't say it enough
But I swear my love is permanent and all I want is us

Sometimes you cry in the daytime
And although you try to hide it
I know sometimes God laughs when we make plans
And it's hard to understand why
Sometimes it's dark in the daylight
When there's blue skies
And I know sometimes we cry (we cry)
We cry (we cry)
And it's hard to understand why

Why it seems impossible to ever catch a break
Why these stupid anxious thoughts are keeping us awake
Maybe that's the way the greatest love is made

I've been trying to tell myself it's just a temporary season
And I guess that growing pains are given that name for a reason
It's no fairy tale love, and I don't say it enough
But I swear my love is permanent and I know

Sometimes you cry in the daytime
And although you try to hide it
I know sometimes God laughs when we make plans
And it's hard to understand why
Sometimes it's dark in the daylight
When there's blue skies
And I know sometimes we cry (we cry)
We cry (we cry)
And it's hard to understand why
