a hard one to know

Singer:gibbard, benjamin

you call a truce and then you start a fight

you change your signals like traffic light

'cause you're a hard one to know

around your heart you've tied a fishing line

and you cast it out there just to see who bites

'cause you're a hard one to know

i toss and turn but i just can't get to sleep

when i start thinking 'bout what you do to me

you're like a flower garden buried in snow

you're a hard one to know

you give your love our like an auctioneer

your moves are jumpy and your words aren't clear

'cause you're a hard one to know

first you smother than you disengage

your tears of joy dissolve to tears of rage

'cause you're a hard one to know

i toss and turn but i just can't get to sleep

when i start thinking 'bout what you do to me

you drag your feet as you swing to and fro

you're a hard one to know

and i try to love you but you won't let me be

you say it's ending before it can begin

you tell me to stay and then you tell me to go

you're a hard one to know
