ATHENA

[Verse 1]
I met you in the summer time
I was moving on from my old girl
Putting all my pain into songs on my own, girl
I was getting tired of the same old song, girl
I was feeling lost, but that's when you came along, girl
Summer time fine
I was summer time blind
To the future in my pupils
I could summari-ize
Everything that went wrong
I was so surpri-ised
When you told me it was over
Crying out my eye-eyes
I need water, I need Jesus, I need medication
Yeah, crying out to you in desperation
Thinking we could make it work
But we just keep getting hurt
I just couldn't handle nothing about the separation
Now, I heard you with a new dude
And I'm getting so jealous
I need some peace, I need some hope
I need a couple umbrellas
For the rainy weather
Thinking 'bout the days that we spent together
I got the slipper, but no Cinderella
Ain't feeling better, now

[Hook]
Ever since you left it's been grey
For me
Saying "ooo, baby, please"
"Come home to me"
Mmm, mmhmm
And ever since you left it's been grey
For me
Saying "ooo, baby, please"
"Come home to me"
Yeah, mmhmm
Ever since you left it's been grey

[Verse 2]
I been on my own for a minute now
Always feel alone even when I'm stepping in the crowd
Gotta simmer down 'fore I mess around and drown, now
I been reminiscing 'bout it, riding through the town
I deleted you from my contacts, but I know your number
Might call you up and say "what's up" to help you remember
All that we had and what we lost
I feel the pain, I know the cost
I know you feel the weight, too
Wish I could help you out and maybe lift it off
But nah, nah, we ain't the same
We live in two different brains
I take a feeling and blow it way out of proportion
And you never know what to say
But it's okay, I guess we're different
No matter what I do, I still miss it
I can never lose the memories
So I remember, then remix it
And maybe we can get something good from this situation
I'll take this picture and paint it a different way just to say that
Even though I'm breaking down, wishing everything was sound
Then at least I can remember how you sound, yeah, yeah

[Hook]
Ever since you left it's been grey
For me
Saying "ooo, baby, please"
"Come home to me"
Mmm, mmhmm
And ever since you left it's been grey
For me
Saying "ooo, baby, please"
"Come home to me"
Yeah, mmhmm
Ever since you left it's been grey
