"tie my shoes" lyrics

I've always found it hard to tie my shoes
I can't do knots I can't call you
But I still do, yeah I still do
And I've always found it hard to let you go
They say it's easy but it's not
What do they know? What do I know?

And yes I know that I'm hard but am I so hard to love?
Or are you just not that bothered at all?
And yes I know that it's late but is it too late to try
Or would you rather stay home and watch me go?

I know the answers to these questions
Just as I know that you're with her
But I like to pretend like I don't

Oh God knows I've tried to forget about you
But it's even harder than trying to tie my shoes

Now I think I'm messing all this up
'Cause what do shoes have to do with love?
To do with love, to do with us?
So I'll wait for you just like last year
Cause God, I just love getting hurt
Oh I don't learn, why don't I learn?

And yes I know that I'm hard but am I so hard to love?
Or are you just not that bothered at all?
And yes I know that it's late but is it too late to try
Or would you rather stay home and watch me go?

I know the answers to these questions
Just as I know that you're with her
But I like to pretend like I don't

Oh God knows I've tried to forget about you
God knows I've tried...

And if I was just a little taller?
And if I laughed the way she laughs?
If I didn't bite my nails would it have lasted one more month?
And what if I was slightly nicer?
What if she was slightly flawed?
Would you still prefer her looks over my silly little songs?

Cause God knows I've tried to forget about us
God knows I've tried, and I hope that's enough

Hope that's enough
