When love was found I kept my hope just like I hoped to I sang to the sea for feelings deep blue Coming down When we've had problems that we've grown through But I bet you dream of what you could do At seventeen I was alright Was like nothing I could feel inside And wishing you were here tonight is like holding on But I still get to see your face, right? And that's like nothing they can take, right? So there won't be no feeling in the firelight Hoping this will be right Time to show your worth, child I remember when her heart broke over stubborn shit That's no way to be living, kid The angel of death is ruthless And I'm always thinking Summertime with the bikes out Pushing our luck getting wiped out Days with nothing, but laughing loud Underneath my coat, when you tap my shoulder, hold my hand Nights with nothing, but dark in there You could be my armour then Island smiles and cardigans The nights that we've been drinking in We're here to help you kill All of this hurt that you've been harboring Confessions should be better planned Alone that night, I'm surely damned Run away and I'll understand it What's important is this evening I will not forget Purple, blue, orange, red These colors of feeling Give me love, I'll put my heart in it And I think about it all the time Lights went out, you were fine You kinda struggled not to shine I still love you though I still love you though I still love you, always So hold me when I'm home Keep the evenings long Crack and break and part ways I still love you though I still love you though I still love you always So hold me when I'm home Keep the evenings long Let's not crack and break and part ways And I wonder if I can let her down Somewhere between psychotic and iconic Somewhere between I want it and I got it Somewhere between I'm sober and I'm lifted Somewhere between a mistress and commitment But I stay down Girl, I always stay down Get down, never lay down Promise her break everybody off Before I break down Everyone just wait now So much on my plate now People I believed in They don't even show their face now What they got to say now? Nothing they can say now Nothing really changed But still they look at me away now What more can I say now? What more can I say now? You might feel like nothing was the same And I still been drinking on the low Mobbing on the low Fucking on the low Smoking on the low And I still been plotting on the low Scheming on the low Furthest thing from perfect Like everyone I know, yeah And I hate that you don't think I belong to you Just too busy running this to run home to you You know the paper my passion Bittersweet celebrations I know I can't change what happened I can't help it, I can't help it I was young and I was selfish I made every woman feel like she were mine and no one else's Now you hate me, stop pretending Stop fronting, I can't take it Girl, don't treat me like a stranger Girl, you know I've seen you naked Girl, you know that I remember Don't be a pretender Getting high at the condo That's when it all comes together You know I stay reminiscing The makeup sex is tradition But you've been missing girl You might feel like nothing was the same And I've still been drinking on the low Mobbing on the low Fucking on the low Smoking on the low And I've still been plotting on the low Scheming on the low Furthest thing from perfect And I wonder if I can let her down It's for real, it's for real It's for real, it's for real
