Lyrics
Ribbons
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I oscillate around you
Like an unforgiving wave
Could you hurt me one more time
So then we can say goodbye
In our own familiar way
I slept for a long time
But my problems followed the next morning
And I shed tears of blood
Chipping away at my dawning
The blue turned to grey as my thoughts were forming
And I shed tears of blood
Just to see how much I cried
Feeling dizzy
Feeling helpless
I guess I should just forget this
Well you know how much I tried
My clarity is burning again
Fuck my resolution and light a cigarette
Itching for my fixture
In this unfamiliar picture
But I bet you won′t notice me in the end
Is it fair that the rain keeps falling
And the Sun doesn't shine
I forgot that I grew up in England
So I've got clouds attached to my mind
And I shed tears of blood
Just to see how much I cried
Feeling dizzy
Feeling helpless
I guess I should just forget this
Well you know how much I tried
You know how much I tried
And I shed tears of blood
Just to see how much I cried
Feeling dizzy
Feeling helpless
I guess I should just forget this
Well you know how much I tried
