Yeasayer
People I Loved
[Verse 1]
"What did you love about him?"
She asked you to speak
The confusion was settling in

[Refrain]
'Cause I was so hard on the people I loved
Yeah, I was so hard on the people I loved

[Verse 2]
I never missed a chance to make you feel small
Let you whistle your tune
But decorum matters above all

[Chorus]
Why was I was so hard on the people I loved?
Why was I was so hard on the people I loved?
Instead of cutting you off and rollin' my eyes
I could've praised your work, could've feigned surprise
At the people I loved
Yeah, at the people I loved
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
[Bridge]
Maybe you'll be fortunate like me
To know you're lying on your deathbed
Crossing your name off all the committees
Singin' Dolores and stoned out of your head

[Refrain]
And surrounded by the people you loved
Surrounded by the people you loved

[Verse 3]
Didn't I soften up laid flat on the decks?
Right before you planted me right next
Yeah, right before I was planted right next
To all the people I loved

[Chorus]
Why was I so hard on the people I loved?
(Na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Why was I so hard on the people I loved?
(Na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Why was I so hard on the people I loved?
(Na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Why was I so hard on the people I loved?
(Na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
