From the recordings Break Up - Bear Down (Deluxe Version) and Break Up - Bear Down
Lyrics
Foolishly low key is this surface heart
Seen as the weakest shark
In a sea of fake perfection
It's another time I falter in my heart
From a great big start
And I really want to go back
Didn't mean to hurt, tried to make it right
But I end up sitting
All by myself now
It's another lost opportunity, slaps my face
Circle all of the ways
I lost all the warm sound…
[Chorus]
Here I go flexin' my heart for you
Please look inside, not right on through
Thought you'd be the One to finally see
Quiet confidence, building in me...
Ooo ooo ooo
This is Such a Pity, never walked inside
The foundation's strong
If a real battle rises
Simple Kind of Life, but looked down as a man
I'm ok with that
Versus flashy, jerk reactions
Question time is over, I know who I am
May not show very tough
But first show some compassion
Deeper than a Holler, gentle heart resides
No loud claims to be great
But a real man shows kindness…
[Chorus - Extended]
