lyrics

i've been told i whisper when i talk,
step softly and whistle while i walk,
get distracted way too easily,
'cuz nothing really matters much to me.
daylight becomes a scarcity,
i flip a page in the calendar i keep,
the silver girl will cry and brush her hair,
then take a winters breath of sharpened air.

i put too much honey in my tea,
i cover my eyes so i can't see,
i said you should feel bad for me,
when i fell from the tree off the tire swing,
when i fell from the tree off the tire swing.

don't tether me to your beliefs,
i'll bat my eyes and paint my cheeks
a cherry red to make me feel alive,
i cross my arms and fixate on the sky.
i put on my floral pattern dress,
mourn all the life that i haven't lives through yet.
i trace my shadow in the ground below,
if i give in now i hope it doesn't show 'cuz i

put too much honey in my tea,
i cover my eyes so i can't see,
i said you should feel bad for me,
when i fell from the tree off the tire swing,
when i fell from the tree off the tire swing.

don't tell me you don't think its broken,
i think it's well beyond repair.
don't tell me you don't think its hopeless,
the missing piece that wasn't there. (x2)

'cuz i said you shouldn't feel bad for me i
said you shouldn't feel bad for me
*fell from the tree of the tire swing*
(ending)
