Richard Ashcroft - Black Lines lyrics
[Richard Ashcroft - Black Lines lyrics]
Who put those black lines under your eyes?
Let me replace them with a smile
Letters from lovers that you don’t read
And talks of children you’ve not conceived
Yes, it’s real life
Sometimes it gets so hard you wonder
Why you try, it makes no sense at all
So you just turn off the light
Try to figure out
What’s going on in your mind
It makes no sense at all
You know, and I know too
You gotta see it through til' the morning
I can wait until the morning
So you close your eyes, you think of death
Nothing left in your head til the morning
Can you wait until the morning?
Sweet bird of fortune i have to let you go
This gilded cage here couldn’t hold it so
So, who put those black lines
Under your eyes? Let me replace them
With a smile yes, it’s real life
Sometimes it gets so hard you wonder
Why you try, it makes no sense at all
So you just turn off the light
Try to figure out
What’s going on in your mind
It makes no sense at all
Yes, it’s real life
Sometimes it gets so hard you wonder
Why you try, it makes no sense at all
So you just turn off the light
Try to figure out
What’s going on in your mind
It makes no sense at all
You know, and I know too
You gotta see it through til' the morning
I pray until the morning
So you close your eyes, you think of death
You think of yourself, somewhere better
In the morning
Still praying through the morning
I can wait until the morning
Let’s wait until the morning
Still praying through the morning
I can wait until the morning
Let me replace them with a smile
Letters from lovers that you don’t read
And talks of children you’ve not conceived
Yes, it’s real life
Sometimes it gets so hard you wonder
Why you try, it makes no sense at all
So you just turn off the light
Try to figure out
What’s going on in your mind
It makes no sense at all
You know, and I know too
You gotta see it through til' the morning
I can wait until the morning
So you close your eyes, you think of death
Nothing left in your head til the morning
Can you wait until the morning?
Sweet bird of fortune i have to let you go
This gilded cage here couldn’t hold it so
So, who put those black lines
Under your eyes? Let me replace them
With a smile yes, it’s real life
Sometimes it gets so hard you wonder
Why you try, it makes no sense at all
So you just turn off the light
Try to figure out
What’s going on in your mind
It makes no sense at all
Yes, it’s real life
Sometimes it gets so hard you wonder
Why you try, it makes no sense at all
So you just turn off the light
Try to figure out
What’s going on in your mind
It makes no sense at all
You know, and I know too
You gotta see it through til' the morning
I pray until the morning
So you close your eyes, you think of death
You think of yourself, somewhere better
In the morning
Still praying through the morning
I can wait until the morning
Let’s wait until the morning
Still praying through the morning
I can wait until the morning
