A Hard One to Know

Benjamin Gibbard

You call a truce and then you start a fight,
You change your signals like a traffic light
'Cause you're a hard, a hard one to know.

Around your heart you've tied a fishing line,
You cast it out there just to see who'll bite
'Cause you're a hard, a hard one to know.

I toss and turn but I just can't get to sleep
When I start thinkin' '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 out like an auctioneer.
Your moves are jumpy and your words aren't clear
'Cause you're a hard, a hard one to know.

First you smother then you disengage
Your tears of joy dissolve to tears of rage
'Cause you're a hard, a hard one to know.

I toss and turn but I just can't get to sleep
When I start thinkin' 'bout what you do to me.
You drag your feet as you swing to and fro,
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.

And I try to love ya but you won't let me in.
You say it's ending before it can begin.
You tell to stay and then you tell me to go,
You're a hard one to know.
