Tribulation Lyrics

[Refrain]
Darling, can't you see?
I'm a broken man with addictive tendencies
And I think I love you
But I don't ever think I can
Ever learn how to love just right
So, run away from me
Run as far as your dark brown eyes can see
Just as soon as you know

[Pre-Chorus]
That I don't ever think I can
Ever learn how to love you right
Oh, and all the ways that you won't bend
Are the only ways I live my life

[Chorus]
Oh, and I'm tryin' to cope
And burn just right, yeah
Oh, and I don't ever think I can
Ever learn how to love you right

[Refrain]
But darling, can't you see?
I'm a broken man with addictive tendencies
And I think I love you
But I don't ever think I can
Ever learn how to love just right
So, run away from me
Run as far as your dark brown eyes can see
Just as soon as you know

[Pre-Chorus]
That I don't ever think I can
Ever learn how to love you right
Oh, and all the ways that you won't bend
Are the only ways I live my life

[Chorus]
Oh, and I'm tryin' to cope
And burn just right, yeah
Oh, and I don't ever think I can
Ever learn how to love you right

[Bridge]
I think I'm better on my own
But I get so lost in you
I think I'm better on my own
But I'm so obsessed with you
I think I'm better on my own
But I get so lost in you
I think I'm better on my own
But I'm so obsessed with you

[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't ever think I can
Ever learn how to love you right
Oh, and all the ways that you won't bend
Are the only ways I live my life

[Chorus]
Oh, and I'm tryin' to cope
And burn just right, yeah
Oh, and I don't ever think I can
Ever learn how to love you right
(I don't ever think I can love you right)
Oh, and I don't ever think I can
Ever learn how to love you right

About

On “Tribulation,” Matt Maeson conveys self-doubt, through a [anomalous] love song. The song was released as the third supporting-single off of Who Killed Matt Maeson.

An alternate version of Tribulation was released featuring VÉRITÉ.

Matt Maeson spoke about “Tribulation” via Paste Magazine, commenting:

Tribulation is a song about self doubt. Feeling inferior because you don’t understand something enough. In this case, that something is love […] It’s easy to convince yourself that there’s no point in trying to find it anymore because you don’t know how to handle it but the truth is, it’s love and no one understands love.
