"October" lyrics

All these hard things I do
None of them is loving you
None of them is loving you

Headstrong, never back down from a fight, I can't win, I can't win
Headfirst, into the deep when I know, I can't swim, I can't swim
Raised up right, to love boys like you, who were taught to fight, who were taught to fight
Been alone so long, you put up those walls, so damn high, so damn high
Nobody can see you're soft inside
But baby I was born to climb

Days will only get better now
Maybe I'll see you on the way out
Gave up the fight in October
Three years long we grew closer
You know I'd live all my worst nights over
Just to see you in October

Sitting in the palm of your hand
So I won't close my fist?
You won't close your fist
I told you I'm a haunted man
It's not the only shoe that fits
It's not the only show that fits
Hung love for you on the walls of rooms that you've never stepped in
Never stepped in

Days will only get better now
Maybe I'll see you on the way out
Gave up the fight in October
Three years long we grew closer
You know I'd live all my worst nights over
Just to see you in October

God made girls just like me with my daddy's heart and mum's company
Could never hold your hand out for some help
You're the eye of the hurricane
You're the heart of the storm
No more bars on your door
Now it's October
It's October

Days will only get better now
Maybe I'll see you on the way out
Gave up the fight in October
Three years long we grew closer
You know I'd live all my worst nights over
Just to see you in October

All these hard things I do
None of them is loving you
