Blue

[verse 1]
It’s like bad milk on your night stand
Something awful that you can’t let go to waste
An old soul you can’t let go
Ten fingers wrapped around your throat
They say you get what you give
But I can’t give shit
I’m stuck in this trench
Counting all my sins
You want what I’m not?
Well here’s what I’ve got
Another sad song from my fucked up thoughts!
(Oh, it never stops)

[Chorus]
I can’t make something pretty when everybody’s listening
Thought I wanted to
But everything around me is blue
It comes and goes so swiftly
Tells me no one will miss me
I never know the truth when everything around me is blue

[verse 2]
Get pushed in these ditches reopening stitches for days
Bet you all think I just throw salt in my wounds just for my own amusement
Okay? And I bet you’ll all leave when -

[Chorus]
I can’t make something pretty when everybody’s listening
Thought I wanted to
But everything around me is blue
It comes and goes so swiftly
Tells me no one will miss me
I never know what’s true
When everything around me is…

[breakdown]
So transactional, just a fraction of what it was
And I’m fucking spent!
Oh!
They say you get what you give, but that don’t mean shit
Cause selling my sins never made me rich so-

[alt. Chorus]
I can’t make something pretty when everybody’s listening
Thought I fucking wanted to
When everything around me is... blue!
Blue!

[outro]
Inside there’s something missing
Can’t say that life is pretty when I lie with you
You know there’s nothing I can do
And if tomorrow’s empty
I know you’ll be there to kiss me
Leave a mark or two
To show them all that I’m with you
