Lips Go Blue

I used to be in love with you but you turned cold; Your lips turned blue
You found a lot of time to waste with red-dipped curls and ginger taste
They said that you had lost your mind for letting go and turning blind
But now I see the truth in you: You fear you’re old and worn and used

Reflection takes a toll on man
You looked through upside-down, again
You’re heart still beats like waves still crash
But you’re still dwelling on the past
They killed you soft and killed you good
They stopped your hope as best they could
You drowned your sorrows with your cup
But all the drink was not enough

Take it out on these poor souls so that the world thinks you’ve found hope
Lie to them though crooked teeth and hide the fact that you’re still weak
Smoke to feel it in your chest, distract yourself from all you’ve left

There’s nothing for you, so you think
Close your eyes and take a drink
All that’s left is just to wait
The end is near
Accept your fate

Holding on to what you knew is your solution, it’s what you do
Learn to move and feel the heat, don’t cower alone and accept defeat
That passion is still here, alive but all good things come only in time
Stop your drink and stop the play and sing for love, don’t sing with hate
I used to be in love with you when you were warm and you were true
You hadn’t any time to waste and smiled at my ginger taste
I told you that you’d lost your mind for letting go and turning blind
Now I see the truth in you
My heart no longer aches for you
