A Brighter Shade Of Blue

(álbum: Overexposed - 2017)

Like flowers at your mother's wedding
A brighter shade of blue
I'm clutching to the way I felt about you
Before the bags under my eyes
From tossing in my bed at night
Now I know I never really loved you

Your parents tied a knot just like the one that's in my chest
The home they built is broken from the silence
You hold the past over your head
Drowning in your self-regret
I'll never be enough or what you wanted

I'll never know what's good for me
So go ahead, tear me down cause I am weaker than I seem
Yeah it's cool cause I can smile and pretend
That you're not wasting space in my head

The record keeps on skipping
All the songs you love the most
You're everything I hate about the east coast
You always said that I would be
A warmth that you could hold
You are only just a blanket that
Always left my feet cold

I'll never know what's good for me
So go ahead, tear me down cause I am weaker than I seem
Yeah it's cool cause I can smile and pretend
That you're not wasting space in my head

Now I'm shaking
You're drying in the breeze
I've been trying
To wash the memories out of our sheets

I'll never know what's good for me
So go ahead, tear me down cause I am weaker than I seem
Yeah it's cool cause I can smile and pretend
That you're not wasting space in my head

You're not a waste of space to me

The flowers at your father's wedding
The brightest shade of blue
I'm questioning the way I feel about you.
