Baby, I

All of the things I thought I knew
They went out the door when we gave birth to you
Stay in the chair and thread the thread
Leaving the pistol on the table ‘til the end

Baby I baby I baby I
Kill myself for you
Baby I Baby I Bay I
Kill myself for you
And no matter how you shake it I don’t have the words to say

I thought this melody would suit you
Sometimes you’re too exhausting to pursue
If I woulda known I’d make it worse
Then I would go back and hang the lantern on this verse
Didn’t your daddy raise you right?
I’m polishing these adverbs while you hang me out to dry

Baby I baby I baby I
Kill myself for you
Baby I Baby I Bay I
Kill myself for you
And no matter how you shake it I don’t have the words to say
Yeah no matter how you shake it I don’t never have the perfect thing to say

Baby I baby I baby I
Kill myself for you
Baby I Baby I Bay I
Kill myself for you
And no matter how you throw it no
I’ll never have it perfect so

Baby I baby I baby I
Kill myself for you
Baby I Baby I Bay I
Kill myself for you

Yeah no matter how you spin I’ll never have the word
No matter how you phrase it’s gonna sound absurd
No matter how you shake it I’ll have nothing left to say
