A puddle on the sidewalk
Feels like a sea to cross
Anything I try to swallow
Like gasoline in my throat
My lungs seem so small
I went out for a dangerous walk
And when I should have listened all I wanted was to talk
Leave your pain with me
I failed to let you know I'm on your side
And your hand slipped out of mine
Leave your pain with me
I'll wash your heart with soap until you can go free
And I dream that you'll come back to me
You let me pick a color
For what I felt for you
We've covered that with black now
It was originally blue
But you can't see it through
I cannot push the bu*ton
-escape
So lay it on my shoulders and let this be my mistake
