A Brighter Shade of Blue - Sleep On It

Like flowers at your mother’s wedding

The 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 for 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

Like flowers at your father’s wedding

The brightest shade of blue

I’m questioning the way I feel about you
