Hard to Tell

She only smiles on rainy days

Can't quit her cigarettes, she loves the way they taste

Keeps me tongue-tied, double-knotted, buckled at the knees

Wildfire raging any time she does please

Everybody knows it's a tale as old as time

Looking for a reason at the end of a rhyme

But we don't always see

What is meant to be

Heart stitched on my sleeve, feeling tragedy

Coming back for me

Slips right through my seams

It's hard to tell, hard to tell what American Beauty gonna do

She never truly let her guard down for me

She plays it blind through eyes I've never seen

And even still, I'm waiting 'round for her blues

Reminding me of a long and forgotten truth

Heavy and a-hard as a tale as old as time

Looking for her reasons at the end of her rhymes

But we don't always see

What is meant to be

Heart stitched on my sleeve, feeling tragedy

Coming back for me and

Slips right through my seams

It's hard to tell, hard to tell what American Beauty gonna do

Oh, it's hard to tell

Everybody knows it's a tale as old as time

But we don't always see

What is meant to be

Heart stitched on my sleeve, feeling tragedy

Coming back for me

Slips right through my seams

It's hard to tell, hard to tell what American Beauty gonna do

Yeah, it's hard to tell, hard to tell what American Beauty gonna do

There ain't no telling now

Ain't no telling now

There ain't no telling now

Ain't no telling now
