Sharon Van Etten - Ask lyrics

Let's find something that can last
Like cigarette ash
The world is collapsing around me
Let's try to do the best we can
I think I need more than
The flowers and letters, man

It's not that I don't try
It's that you won't again
And it hurts too much to laugh about it
Yes, it hurts too much to laugh about it

Hey, please, think about it friend
I know you're lonely
I'm here writing in the dark
Just trying to get the balls
But it hurts too much to ask
Dear I Need Someone Who's Lost
Tell me how not to stop
All these tears and fears
So nothing else will drop
So all this pain will stop
But, if it hurts too much to ask
If it hurts too much to ask

It's not that I don't cry
It's that I have to hide, yeah
It's that I have to hide so
I won't be there to ask
So I won't be there to ask
So I won't be there to ask
No, I won't be there to ask

And it hurts too much to laugh about it
Yes, it hurts too much to laugh about it
Yes, it hurts too much to laugh about it, man
