It is so easy to see
Dysfunction between you and me
We must free up these tired souls
Before the sadness kills us both
I tried and tried to let you know
I love you, but I'm letting go
It may not last, but I don't know
I just don't know
If you don't know
Then you can't care
And you show up
But you're not there
But I'm waiting
And you want to
Still afraid that I will desert you
[Chorus]
Everyday
With every worthless word
We get more far away
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
But nothing lasts forever; but be honest, babe
It hurts, but it may be the only way
A bed that's warm with memories
Can heal us temporarily
The misbehaving only makes
The ditch between us so damn deep
Built a wall around my heart
I'll never let it fall apart
But, strangely, I wish secretly
It would fall down while I'm asleep
If you don't know
Then you can't care
And you show up
But you're not there
But I'm waiting
And you want to
Still afraid that I will desert you, babe
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Though we have not hit the ground
It doesn't mean we're not still falling, oh
I want so bad to pick you up
But you're still too reluctant to accept my help
What a shame; I hope you find somewhere to place the blame
But until then the fact remains...
[Chorus x 2]
Dysfunction between you and me
We must free up these tired souls
Before the sadness kills us both
I tried and tried to let you know
I love you, but I'm letting go
It may not last, but I don't know
I just don't know
If you don't know
Then you can't care
And you show up
But you're not there
But I'm waiting
And you want to
Still afraid that I will desert you
[Chorus]
Everyday
With every worthless word
We get more far away
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
But nothing lasts forever; but be honest, babe
It hurts, but it may be the only way
A bed that's warm with memories
Can heal us temporarily
The misbehaving only makes
The ditch between us so damn deep
Built a wall around my heart
I'll never let it fall apart
But, strangely, I wish secretly
It would fall down while I'm asleep
If you don't know
Then you can't care
And you show up
But you're not there
But I'm waiting
And you want to
Still afraid that I will desert you, babe
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Though we have not hit the ground
It doesn't mean we're not still falling, oh
I want so bad to pick you up
But you're still too reluctant to accept my help
What a shame; I hope you find somewhere to place the blame
But until then the fact remains...
[Chorus x 2]

I like how he puts his words together so well.
people like him have big thing about blame because there designed to shift the blame to outside objects. As a way to keep from faceing there own reality.
"Still afraid that I will desert you, babe" of corse shes afraid he'll desert her, theres no heart or compashion to depend on. He looses intrest in the objets that regulate his self worth the moment they dont function that way.
{I tried and tried to let you know
I love you but I'm letting go
It may not last but I don't know
Just don't know}
Had these feelings for too long and have to try and move on, but who knows if i can
{If you don't know
Then you can't care}
If he doesn't know, then he can't care like i do so i have to say something.
{Everyday
With every worthless word we get more far away
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
But nothing last forever, but be honest babe
It hurts but it may be the only way}
Seems like everytime we talk about it, its a worthless conversation. And distance (literally, miles away from one another) makes it hard. This can't last forever. It hurts so much.
{A bed that's warm with memories
Can heal us temporarily
The misbehaving only makes
The ditch between us so damn deep}
Being together and the times we've shared together can make us feel so complete but if it keeps happening it only gets more complicated.
{Built a wall around my heart
Never let it fall apart
Strangely I wish secretly
It would fall down while I'm asleep}
I wish he'd break down this wall.
{But we have not hit the ground
Doesn't mean we're not still falling, oh..}
To me this is him telling me it could still happen. We haven't hit cuz we still have hope, but we are falling because nothing is happening.
{I want so bad to pick you up
But you're still too reluctant to accept my help}
He's too reluctant to accept me or be with me.
so true. love this song. holds very true meaning to me and exactly what i need to hear to move on. love maroon 5.
