  • I told you, love, if you could see it through my eyes
    You'd understand my fear of everything in sight
    I know I'd quickly sell my heart for some advice
    On how to ease a troubled mind
    My brain's a dog asleep that I cannot let lie
    Cloudy head, though I can't find a single silver lining
    Guess there is no hope for me in sight
    To ease this troubled mind

    I worry for the sun, yes, I worry for the snow
    I worry I'll die young while I worry I'll grow old
    Oh, I worry for the time I spent worrying alone
    It makes me sad
    It takes me back
    I break in half
    Ah-ooh, I break in half

    I took a bus out to the city where you live
    Eavesdropped on strangers' conversations with their kids
    In hopes that maybe they'd say something relevant
    To ease my worried head
    Well, every mile that passed just amplified my fear
    I started counting all the times I saw you last year
    And suddenly it all became so clear
    It was sadly making sense

    I worry for the sun, yes, I worry for the snow
    I worry I'll die young while I worry I'll grow old
    Oh, I worry for the time I spent worrying alone
    It makes me sad
    It takes me back
    I break in half
    Ah-ooh, I break in half

    I worry for the sun, yes, I worry for the snow
    I worry I'll die young while I worry I'll grow old
    I worry for the time I spent worrying alone
    It makes me sad
    It takes me back
    I break in half
    Ah-ooh, I break in half

    I told you, love, if you could see it through my eyes
    You'd understand my fear of everything in sight
    I know I'd quickly sell my heart for some advice
