Just a few words
Shot at my face
I stop and step back
Feel them graze my cheek.
You don't notice
The glare of the sun
Off of your hair
But it strikes me just right.
Just a few pieces
Of shattered glass
Lie at your feet
From the night before.
The sun's so red
But the rain has stopped
And a good night's sleep
Won't let us forget.
You feel me slipping through your fingers?
I want to throw glass at your walls.
I can sink into the earth if I like
But you're stuck here with your problems.
You feel me slipping through your fingers?
I want to drown in this wine.
I'd take a blade to my wrist
Before I kiss you goodnight.
Just another cocktail
Beneath a starry sky
Moonlight is the right light
To let it out.
Don't lose your grip
Hold fast to the rail
One more sip is too easy
Just fall back, fall back.
Just inside my pocket
Lies what we fear most.
You can't even lie well,
Your tears are convincing.
Feel me slipping through your fingers?
You look blue in the night.
Your glass still holds your lipstick.
Though it doesn't hold the wine.
You feel me slipping through your fingers?
You're just picking a fight
I'll take a blade to my wrist
Before I kiss you goodnight...
