Letra[]
[Estrofa 1]
Here's the deal, I knew (It wasn't your fault)
But you placed the blame on me (That was uncalled for)
I have plenty empathy (To try and lend you)
You seem to stop trying, oh
[Estrofa 2]
A karma took us here (We're in a pickle)
But as long as we're sincere (And never fickle)
You've got all the perspective (I'm trying to listen)
To get out of this cycle, oh
[Pre-coro]
Ain't too proud to try?
I'll hear you out, I'll make it sprout, grow
All the stupid shit and all the doubts all matter now, so
[Coro]
Show me a piece of your mind
I’m a sponge and it's water time
I'll project a piece of my heart
Absorb all the love, absorb all the love
[Estrofa 3]
Feeling all the doom (And all the thunder)
'Cause the storms, they do consume (They cause a blunder)
Even though we can't undo (What's been established)
You can learn from all the clouds
[Estrofa 4]
Maybe I've been too (Isolated)
I can say the same for you (But we can make it)
If we throw away our pride (For just a second)
It's okay to not be right
[Pre-coro]
Ain't too proud to try?
I'll hear you out, I'll make it sprout, grow
All the stupid shit and all the doubts all matter now, so
[Coro]
Show me a piece of your mind
I’m a sponge and it's water time
I'll project a piece of my heart
Absorb all the love, absorb all the love
[Coro]
Show me a piece of your mind
I’m a sponge and it's water time
I'll project a piece of my heart
Absorb all the love, absorb all the love
[Estrofa 1]
Here's the deal, I knew (It wasn't your fault)
But you placed the blame on me (That was uncalled for)

[Estrofa 2]

You've got all the perspective (I'm trying to listen)

I'll project a piece of my heart
Absorb all the love, absorb all the love
