Bright Eyes - No Lies, Just Love lyrics
[Bright Eyes - No Lies, Just Love lyrics]
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 it's 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
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 it's 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
