about

written by Sarah Morris, Sarah-Liz Songs (ASCAP)

lyrics

Your calloused fingers, my calloused heart
I bet you earned your lack of feeling by working hard
While I have been this way since the start

Your eyes are closing, mine don’t blink
Your breath is slowing down, exposing more than you think
I wash my hands in the bathroom sink

You are so far out of your league here
You should leave here
You should go
before you’re in
So far, so far over your head
You can’t find the sand
when you reach with your toes
You should know
When forced to choose between kindness and the truth
I will be
I will be
I will be
ruthless
ruthless

You reach your hand out, my arms are still
I enjoyed you for a while but we have lost that certain thrill
You call my name and it sounds too shrill

You are so far out of your league here
You should leave here
You should go
before you’re in
So far, so far over your head
You can’t find the sand
when you reach with your toes
You should know
When forced to choose between kindness and the truth
I will be
I will be
I will be
ruthless
ruthless

Is it any consolation to know you’re not alone
I leave a wake of devastation wherever I go
Is it any consolation to know you’re not the first
And if this hurts enough, you’re skin is bound to toughen up and

Your calloused fingers will match your calloused heart
You will have earned your lack of feeling by working hard
While I have been this way since the start

You are so far out of your league here
You are so far out of your league here
You should leave here
You should go
You should know
When forced to choose between kindness and the truth
I will be
I will be
I will be
ruthless
ruthless
