I used to see with a rose tint
A color I found between our lips
The same skin you found me in
I wear this medal without a win

A color I found between our lips
Please sing the song I used to know
I wear this medal without a win
And I will fix the stitch to sew

Please sing the song I used to know
The same skin you found me in
And I will fix the stitch to sew
I used to see with a rose tint

Like Christmas lights on the lawn in May
We don't belong to each other.
No, not anymore.
I stopped keeping score.

I think your hat is in my sock drawer.

We lit too many candles,
filled too many balloons
before the recorder started
we were singing all the tunes
and I stayed a little later
and you drove too fast for me
now I'm staring at the wreckage
and you're looking for your keys.


I've burned everything we had
And I can see for miles.

— The End —
