Linger Lyrics - Lost Isles - Oceans Ate Alaska

You was always trying to make us 

Into something we could never be 

So you may as well erase me! 

Best kept memories, worthless apologies 

Inseparable, now you don't even acknowledge me 

You were all that I had, you were all that I had 

We would run between the lines, and I would chase you every single time 

Painting by numbers, how hard could it be? 

Stole all the water colours from our dreams 

Told me our future was all just make-believe 

Ripped me open for my friends to see, destroyed my world and made me bleed 

Lost the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen 

You took my heart and painted it black, looking on the bright side is something I lack 

You were all that I had 

I lie in my room pulling out my own hair, it gives me something to do, but doesn't get me anywhere 

Not even time can repair the space you left here in my chest, you linger in the air 

Fuck the facts, you knew all along we would never last 

You were all that I had, you were all that I had 

We would run between the lines and I would chase you every single time 

Painting by numbers, how hard could it be? 

Stole all the water colours from our dreams 

I lie in my room pulling out my own hair, it gives me something to do, but doesn't get me anywhere 

Not even time can repair the space you left here in my chest 

You linger in the air 

I used to think you was beautiful, but now you're just bland and I'm so cynical 

Your colours faded away unlike my feelings for you
