"bite back (demo)" lyrics

I hear you laughing in the other room
Two doors between us, oh, it's morning soon
I rolled my eyes to land on ten past nine
And God, I gave up, said goodnight, mmm

If I could find the strength of fifty men
Maybe I could go back in again
I'd shrug my shoulders, I'd shake back my hair
I'd be the girl who doesn't care, mmm

You're in a weird mood
And I could smell it
Why do you bite back?
Why are you jealous?

I couldn't reach you
No, not tonight
I'll try tomorrow
I'll try tomorrow

Oh, let me look inside
'Cause under all that fire
There are knots that I can help undo
My dear, I'm only trying to help you

Will you soften to me?
Will you not let me be
Someone else not getting through?
My dear, I'm only trying
My dear, I'm only trying to help you

Our conversation walks a fine line
I search the room for brows that raise like mine
I seem to be quite used to heavy words
Don't even know why this still hurts, mmm

And when I come to you and say my piece
Don't give me eyes like this is my problem please
Folded arms and furrowed brows
It's just too late to admit it now, mmm

You're in a weird mood
And I could smell it
Why do you bite back?
Why are you jealous?

I couldn't reach you
No, not tonight
I'll try tomorrow
I'll try tomorrow

Oh, let me look inside
'Cause under all that fire
There are knots that I can help undo
My dear, I'm only trying to help you

Will you soften to me?
Will you not let me be
Someone else not getting through?
My dear, I'm only trying
My dear, I'm only trying to help you

I couldn't reach you
No, not tonight
I'll try tomorrow
And hope you're kind
