Lyrics by Shoes

Composed by John Murphy

-------

Given her the kinds of things
Just to get her through
Bet you don’t remember when
You knew what to do

It’s been on your mind but you’re afraid
Of what you might find behind
Diminishing returns (you might find somethin’)
Diminishing returns (you might find behind)
Diminishing returns (you might find somethin’)
Diminishing returns (you might find behind)

Broken and alone again
Tired of her lies
Forgotten how it should’ve been
And so you agonize

You’ve been in the way but you’re afraid
Of what you might find behind
Diminishing returns (you might find somethin’)
Diminishing returns (you might find behind)
Diminishing returns (you might find somethin’)
Behind diminishing returns

You don’t know how it feels to get more than you give
Conceals the parts that aren’t as strong
You’ll never know the moment when love starts to fade
It’s been unequal far too long

You’ve been in the way but you’re afraid
Of what you might find behind

CHORUS

Made it known that she might leave
This you understood
Never in your wildest dreams
Did you think she would

There’s gonna come a day when you’re afraid
Of what you might find behind

DOUBLE CHORUS
