[Verse 1]
Slow down, my love
Can't you spare just one more night?
I'll redeem myself
You destroyed me and I apologised
[Verse 2]
Rainy days in Leigh
Are my favourite in bed
Rest my head on your chest
And I'll sleep at my best
Your mellifluous words tease me well
[Verse 3]
But hate is heavy, let it go
And even if you're lonely
Just know you're not alone
You still feel like home
Boy, I miss you
Don't you know?
[Pre-Chorus]
You always say my mouth is smiling
But my eyes still look so sad
Well, perhaps if you knew the reasons
You wouldn't have to say that
[Chorus]
And baby you got scars on your face
And scars in a place
That i can't heal
But I'm trying
I know you've been falling
I know you've been falling
[Verse 4]
But you bathed me in your light
Washed my skin in all your tides
The man I knew, you were inside
Well, please, don't let him just subside
Why are you like this?
A brain that doesn't exist
It's so easy to fall into habits
But your decline was so rapid
[Pre-Chorus]
You always say my mouth is smiling
But my eyes still look so sad
Well, perhaps if you knew the reasons
You wouldn't have to say that
[Chorus]
And, baby, you got scars on your face
And scars in a place that I can't heal
But I'm trying
I know you've been falling
I know you've been falling
I know you're still falling
[Post-Chorus]
I'll go down to the river
Soak my skin in
I forgive ya
I know you never really meant
To hurt me, well, hopefully
[Outro]
And I'll conclude with all my debts to you
How do I pay you back for your aptitude?
Thank you for the sun that you proved
Doesn't just shine in the sky thats blue?
Doesn't just shine in the sky thats blue?
