Leaves

(album: Emily Can't Sing - 2021)

You ask me what I'm thinking as I sink into the floor
But I don't think I really wanna be here anymore
Not anymore

Oh no
Hold my breath for one more year just waiting here for you
Staring at the door until my face is turning blue
Yeah, and all the bombs you swore you wouldn't drop
And all the love you swore would never stop
I guess it's just your way of saying your goodbye

The sun is up, but you're not shining
I let you win, I love to lose
I wash my hands with dirty water
I never should, but I always do
The sun is up, but you're not shining
I let you win, I love to lose
I wash my hands with dirty water
I never should, but I always do

Oh
Rhyming all my words but now I'm out of things to say
Wrote everything for you but you don't listen anyway
I bet it's nice to breathe
Die every year like leaves
(Ooh)

The sun is up, but you're not shining
I let you win, I love to lose
I wash my hands with dirty water
I never should, but I always do
The sun is up, but you're not shining (Ooh)
I let you win, I love to lose (Ooh)
I wash my hands with dirty water (Ooh)
I never should, but I always do (Ahh)

Joe, Joe, calm down
Joe, Joe, calm down
Our colors change
We dry out just the same
Our colors change
We dry out just the same
