Lyrics:
It’s hard to make art when no one’s breaking your heart
I don’t know where to start anymore
Try as I might I can’t stop feeling alright
It seems it snuck up on me just like your knock at my door
I’ve spent my years distilling my tears into songs
But now my river’s run dry, it seems I’ve lost my supply
Oh all my ideas are gone

Why’s it so hard to make art when no one’s breaking your heart
Why’s It so hard to write songs once you’ve gotten what you wanted all along

You’ve made me whole but it’s taken its toll
When I sit down to play my guitar
And if I had to guess it’s that I’m not so depressed
So there’s no need to impress random girls at the bar with my songs
I can sing what I want
But as I begin, to my chagrin
all my ideas are gone

Why’s it so hard to make art when no one’s breaking your heart
Why’s It so hard to write songs once you’ve gotten what you wanted all along
And no I don’t miss how it was before
It’s just that it’s hard to make art
It’s hard to make art
It’s hard to make art when no one’s breaking your heart anymore
