Counting

It’s so hard to count
It’s so hard to count on
It’s so hard to count on people

How much trust can we
How much trust can we put
How much trust can we put in another

How many let downs have you
How many let downs have you strung
How many let downs have you strung together

It’s so hard to count
It’s so hard to count on
It’s so hard to count on others
