Hurt Me Again

(album: View Of The Pines - 2014)

I've been waiting a while
Where the sun burnt the sea
Was I down when you wanted me to be?
Tell me which of your lies,
Was I meant to believe?
Oh, was I down when you wanted me to be?

Well, hold me in your arms
I'm in the eye of the storm
Tell me we're not coming here no more

Oh, you hurt, you hurt me again I'm sure
And you paint me the same pretty picture as before
And it's beautiful 'til the colors run
It's beautiful 'til the colors run

I'll be sailing away
Though you warned me to stay
As the face that you see in the sky
I've been bound and alone
I trace the chains to your throne
Was I down when you wanted me to be?

Well, let's go fly a plane and when it breaks we'll fly a kite
But I'm not going up this isn't right

Oh, you hurt, you hurt me again I'm sure
And you paint me the same pretty picture as before
And it's beautiful 'til the colors run
It's beautiful

You're the ghost of childhood who haunts the bay
Well, on the rocks where I once stood a blue guitar I played
In the empty parking lot that and in the old arcade
With my hands tied in a knot of promises we've made

Oh, you hurt, you hurt me again I'm sure
And you paint me the same pretty picture as before
And it's beautiful 'til the colors run
It's beautiful 'til the colors run
It's beautiful
