lyrics

Your passive aggression ain’t fooling me
you’re not the only one who matters here, if only you could see
looking right through me
and I know (I know) no it’s not your fault
but if you don’t own your life
then what do you got?

I’m talking to myself just like everyone else
so I think it’s time to hang up and live life for myself

Passive aggression is a thing of the past
pissed off and insignificant, under the sky so vast
I’m all alone–– just me and the trees
so why am I so angry?
it’s just the breeze in the leaves

They’re talking to themselves just like everyone else
it’s time to tune in and live life for yourself

Live it for yourself, oh yeah
Live it for yourself, oh yeah

You are the wind in the trees singing Autumn Leaves
such a beautiful dream
You are the perfect landscape, you never stay the same–
changing colors in the pouring rain

Passive aggressive can be so slow
love is so hard, why not just let it go?
there’s always something that’s better than this
or so it seems until you see the twist

You’re talking to yourself just like everyone else
It’s time to take the time to live life for yourself
