Shutting Down

from The Way It's Always Been by Paul Ventura

lyrics

when i show you my work through
i throw you off
you don't know what i mean

how have i made such an age
and not know what to say

(prechorus)
and i know you like what you see
and i know you get what you need
but still sooner or now i'll still lose everything
just know sooner not later
yeah sooner
just

(chorus)
stop shutting down at everything
why is my mind tunnel blind
every time for anything
cover your eyes i've got something to hide
i'll just miss you


am i better or worse off to know
just which year's on repeat

why can't it be a bad moment not me
see one more's on the way

(prechorus)
and i know you and just what you'll say
is there value in hearing the same (full stop)
my expectations
have poisoned my chances
but aren't no expectations
a sign of a...

(chorus)

(solo)

(chorus)
stop shutting down at everything
why is my mind tunnel blind
every time for anything
why is my mind tunnel blind
every time for anything

sooner or now it'll catch up to me
it's my mind making matter
with my soul under siege

set the science aside
it's been no good to me
save for drowning out voices
surely wearing from me

there's no sparing of senses
when you see it coming
so i'll
cover my eyes i've got something to hide
i can't win every time
but could change my reply
but still don't be surprised when i'm quiet tonight
i just miss you
