Matilda Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Left in the corner collecting dust
Patiently waiting while my fingers rust
I was locked in the coffin case
Not even on display
As you fret, my frets decay
You pick up your other, and you strum away
I listen from the other room
Try to pull you out of tune

[Pre-Chorus]
Thought I was everything you need
I thought at least you'd wanna see it through
And I was caught in between
Givin' up and callin' out to you
Am I comin' through?
[Chorus]
Now you don't even write the chords down
You don't even play me anyhow, anymore
Now you just keep crankin' them out
Like you're tryin' to numb yourself
With all this work, but it's just not workin' out

[Verse 2]
George and his lover, they gently weep
But I don't evеn get to breathe
I hardly makе a sound
And I'm totally unwound, it's like
All of my flaws have become the things That make you wanna destroy something
And the reasons you started are lost
Now that the feeling has worn off

[Pre-Chorus]
Thought I was everything you need
Thought at least you'd wanna see it through
Your voice follows me
You sing perfectly out of tune
I thought we had more time
I thought I could make it up somehow
I try to weave between the lines
I try to turn myself up loud
Can ya hear me now?
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Now you don't even write the chords down
You don't even play me anyhow, anymore
Now you just keep crankin' them out
Like you're tryin' to numb yourself
Like I'm just a different drug
Somethin' that you took for granted
Another love that you abandoned right when
It starts to count
You don't even write the chords down
You don't even play me anyhow
'Cause it's only work, and it's just not workin' out
