Melanie Martinez - Band-Aid (2014) lyrics

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Just 'cause I bought a band-aid
Doesn't mean I'm able to
Clean the scars that run
Deeper than all my old demons that
I keep under still water
Just 'cause you give me flowers
Doesn't cover up the smell of the dead body
Or raise the dead body of a girl
Who got shot down before

Just 'cause you crack the window
Doesn't mean I'm able to clear the air
That made it hard to breathe
Before you came around here
Just 'cause you say you love me
Doesn't mean that I'm gonna look
You in the eyes pretend to be surprised
And say I love you back (Love you back)



'Cause, I'm trippin', trippin' on rocks
Cuttin' on my ankles
When will the blood stop? Blue, blue knees
Fallin' for the next man who breathes

I need a band-aid recovery
Don't get too close 'cause you're
Really nothing to me
You're just a band-aid on my knees
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You're just a band-aid recovery
I'll rip you off when I please
I'll rip you off when I bleed

Just 'cause I'm coming over
Doesn't mean I'll be there when you wake up
'Cause coming over doesn't mean
That I'm over him (Over him, over him)
Just 'cause you are my band-aid
Doesn't mean I want you to stick around
'Cause rebounds get washed away the
Next time it rains (The next time it rains)

'Cause, I'm trippin', trippin' on rocks
Cuttin' on my ankles
When will the blood stop? Blue, blue knees
Fallin' for the next man who breathes

I need a band-aid recovery
Don't get too close 'cause you're
Really nothing to me
You're just a band-aid on my knees
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You're just a band-aid recovery
I'll rip you off when I please
I'll rip you off when I bleed
