People I Loved - Yeasayer

«What did you love about him?»

She asked you to speak

The confusion was settling in

'Cause I was so hard on the people I loved

Yeah I was so hard on the people I loved

I never missed a chance to make you feel small

Let you whistle your tune

But decorum matters above all

Why was I so hard on the people I loved?

Why was I so hard on the people I loved?

Instead of cutting you off and rolling my eyes

I could’ve praised your work, could’ve feigned surprise

At the people I loved

Yeah at the people I loved

(Na na na, na na na na)

(Na na na na na na na na na)

(Na na na, na na na na)

(Na na na na na na na na na)

Maybe you’ll be fortunate like me

To know you’re lying on your deathbed

Crossing your name off all the committees

Singing Delores and stoned out of your head

And surrounded by the people you loved

Surrounded by the people you loved

Didn’t I soften up laid flat on the decks?

Right before you planted me right next

Yeah right before I was planted right next

To all the people I loved

Why was I so hard on the people I loved?

(Na na na, na na na na)

(Na na na na na na na na na)

Why was I so hard on the people I loved?

(Na na na, na na na na)

(Na na na na na na na na na)

Why was I so hard on the people I loved?

(Na na na, na na na na)

(Na na na na na na na na na)

Why was I so hard on the people I loved?

(Na na na, na na na na)

(Na na na na na na na na na)
