No Lies, Just Love - Son, Ambulance, Bright Eyes

It was in the March of the Winter

I turned seventeen

That I bought those pills

I thought I would need

And I wrote a letter

To my family

Said, «it's not your fault

And you’ve been good to me.»

Just lately I’ve been feeling

Like I don’t belong

Like the ground’s not mine

To walk upon

And I’ve heard that music

Echo through the house

Where my grandmother drank

By herself

And I sat watching a flower

As it was withering

I was embarrassed by

Its honesty

So I’d prefer to be remembered

As a smiling face

Not this fucking wreck

That’s taken its place

So please forgive what I have done

No, you can’t stay mad at the setting sun

'cause we all get tired, I mean, eventually

There is nothing left to do but sleep

But Spring came, bearing sunlight

Those persuasive rays

So I gave myself

A few more days

My salvation, it came, quite suddenly

When Justin spoke, very plainly

He said, «now, of course it’s your decision

But just so you know

If you decide to leave

Soon, I will follow»

I wrote this for a baby

Who has yet to be born

My brother’s first child

I hope that womb’s not too warm

'cause it’s cold out here

And it’ll be quite a shock

To breathe this air

To discover loss

So I’d like to make some changes

Before you arrive

So when your new eyes meet mine

They won’t see no lies

Just love

Just love

I will be pure

No, no, I know i will be pure

Like snow, like gold

Like snow, like gold

Like snow, like snow

Like gold, like gold, like gold
