Notes

You little brother never tells you but he loves you so
You said your mother only smiled on her TV show
You’re only happy when your sorry head is filled with dope
I hope you make it to the day you’re 28 years old
You’re dripping like a saturated sunrise
You’re spilling like an overflowing sink
You’re ripped at every edge but you’re a masterpiece
And now I’m tearing through the pages and the ink
Everything is blue
His pills, his hands, his jeans
And now I’m covered in the colors
Pull apart at the seams
And it's blue
And it's blue
Everything is grey
His hair, his smoke, his dreams
And now he's so devoid of color
He don’t know what it means
And he's blue
And he's blue
You were a vision in the morning when the light came through
I know I’ve only felt religion when I’ve lied with you
You said you’ll never be forgiven till your boys are too
And I’m still waking every morning but it’s not with you
You’re dripping like a saturated sunrise
You’re spilling like an overflowing sink
You’re ripped at every edge but you’re a masterpiece
And now I’m tearing through the pages and the ink
You were red, and you liked me 'cause I was blue
But you touched me, and suddenly I was a lilac sky
Then you decided purple just wasn’t for you
---------------------------------------------------
You got me sipping on something
I can't compare to nothing
I bet for known I'm hoping
That after this fever I'll survive
I know I'm acting a bit crazy
Strung out, a little bit hazy
Hand over heart, I'm praying
That I'm going to make it out alive

The bed's getting cold and you're not here
The future that we hold is so unclear
But I'm not alive until you call
And I'll beat the odds against it all
Save your advice because I won't hear
You might be right but I don't care
There's a million reasons
Why I should give you up
But the heart wants what it wants

You got me scattered in pieces
Shining like stars and screaming
Lightning me up like Venus
But then you disappear and make me wait
And every second is like torture
Hell over trip, no more so
Finding a way to let go
Baby baby no, I can't escape

The bed's getting cold and you're not here
The future that we hold is so unclear
But I'm not alive until you call
And I'll beat the odds against it all
Save your advice because I won't hear
You might be right but I don't care
There's a million reasons
Why I should give you up
But the heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants (bis)

This is a modern fairytale
No happy endings
No winning ourselves
But I can't imagine a life without
Breathless moments breaking me down

The bed's getting cold and you're not here
The future that we hold is so unclear
But I'm not alive until you call
And I'll beat the odds against it all
Save your advice because I won't hear
You might be right but I don't care
There's a million reasons
Why I should give you up
But the heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants (bis)
