lyrics

The sun she hangs her heavy head.
The water purple sky of red.
My hands are empty but I can't let go.
That look your eyes my chest caves in
the never weres and could have beens
they'll tear you up I swear they'll eat you whole

Don't you ask how I've been
cause I'm not saying it's your fault,
but it's like a fifth of gin and poison in your heart.
Don't you ask how I am
when you're fingertips away
because you don't give a damn.
Is that all you have to say?

I look at you and we both know
we're fools to stay we're fools to go.
It's golden now the lights on the trees.
You take a step to bridge the gap
just please don't cry and please don't laugh.
I don't suppose it help if I said please

Don't you ask how I've been
cause I'm not saying it's your fault,
but it's like a fifth of gin and poison in your heart.
Don't you ask how I am
when you're fingertips away
because you don't give a damn.
Is that all you have to say?

You grab me pull me hold me close.
This isn't fair. I can't let go.
I trace your lips the sunset burning red.
You Twine your fingers in my hair.
My lungs are screaming where's the air.
Do you still remember when you said

That I can't get lost and I won't go far.
Because you are just a map of stars.
You trace Orion on my skin.
Can you believe the shape we're in?
