Give me your Black Lungs and Your Blue Eyes
And we’ll trade them in for a new disguise
Give me your best bet
And your worst lie
And we'll fill them in with a straighter line
You could be everything I wanted
If you just gave up on holding back
I never lost so many words
From kissing just one girl
You've got potential
Wait for it
Wait for nights that compliment you
Ignore the girls that just resent you
It’s easier to seem like you don’t care at all
Wait for it
Wait for boys to overwhelm you
Tell them that you’re not that kind of girl
And that you’d rather sit and talk about your goals
Give me your Black Lungs and Your Blue Eyes
And we’ll trade them in for a new disguise
Give me your best bet
And your worst lie
And we'll fill them in with a straighter line
You could be everything I wanted
If you just gave up on holding back
I never lost so many words
From kissing just one girl
You’ve got potential
Wait for it
Wait for nights that decimate you
Wake up and then pray for or saving
Hope has never seemed so far away from you
Wait for it
Wait for years to pass you by
Looking back at all the times
You wish you hadn’t compromised at all
And I tried
And I tried
I tried to make you see
That you lost reality
Hell, I tried
