lyrics

I was lying to you when I told you, you were special
I was lying to you when I said it was okay.
Any place with a phone just wasn’t safe from your reign
My silence and your faking were a painful combination, usually.

You wished my eyes were blue, you wished my eyes were blue.

You were hungry every day, stealing all my time just wasn’t enough.
What kept you happy left me angry, flowers and cards that were dumb.

I remember what you looked like, the red you wore on your hungry lips.
Attention that you demanded, attention I refused to give.

Fidelity was hard to say, letters that I choked on.
Waking up I had to leave, what a relief to step away.

You wished my eyes were blue, you wished my eyes were blue.
You wished my eyes were blue, you wished my eyes were blue.

Grainy voices clutching excuses don’t give me that line.
Endless negotiations, just give me what’s mine.
I was lying to you when I told you, you were special.
I was lying to you when I told you everything was okay.

You wished my eyes were blue, you wished my eyes were blue.
You wished my eyes were blue, you wished my eyes were blue.
