don't cry me a river
because i'll drown in it
and take you with me

pale skin turns red
just like her alcohol eyes
she takes another swig
and sings herself to sleep
she'll pray to a God
she doesn't believe in
her soul to keep
she'll dream of days
when she wasn't like this
and she'll dream of days
when she wasn't so alone

but you see
this girl
she could move
Mountains
with just her words

they say
that time
heals all wounds

so then explain to me
why my heart
aches more and more
as each
agonizing second
ticks by

and so
i kiss my own scars
because no one else
wants to get that close

my colors are fading out
and i'm afraid
i don't know how
to make them brighter
again
