Heath McNease - Still July lyrics

[Verse 1: Heath McNease] I promise not to write If you promise not to call We were perfect in July But autumn found our flaws I see you by the tree That you carved our names inside We were perfect in the sun In the winter we're a lie Yeah I still [?] with you And that's overk** if you over the hill and You don't believe in new Beginnings and severing ties when everything dies But I believe you do It's still July for me and you We tried to fight the fever through till it breaks But now we're freezing too When the winter storms hit, I wasn't prepared I was thinking 'bout gold in your hair I was thinking how no one was there to correct me or judge And no one was scared If the perfect love's meant to cast out fear Then we ain't perfect If you want someone else to be a substitute Then we ain't worth it We're living a lie no one sees But your lie is alive in my dreams And I can survive on my dreams Survive on my dreams We live in a lie no one sees But your lie is alive in my dreams And I am alive when she sings Alive when she sings [Hook: Jetty Rae] [?] Makes me wonder why [?] [Verse 2: Heath McNease] The color leaves my face When October comes So far removed from June Laughing as we burn And I won't pretend to care If you promise not to call Cause tears on August one Are forgotten by the fall Fall is a life sentence Autumn's a dire image of knives ripping July into this lie Until the light's dimming Your smile's missing We try to just survive winter But time isn't this kind mistress That nihilism and mileage and denial limits her dying vision And no one believes we can make it I know what they mean when they say That truth is a pill that's jagged as hell And it hurts in the moment yet both of us take it Cause we live it the real world Where a barricade leads to a road block That leads to a detour, leads to a barrier Leads to a dead end sign and it don't stop The absence of the light Doesn't mean the darkness overcomes 'Cause we can all survive without the sunlight When it's gone Ooh the absence of the truth Doesn't mean a lie can take its place The purpose of deceit is to displace but then it fades [Interlude: Jetty Rae] Summer time living it ain't easy here Makes me wonder why Autumn never disappears [?] [?] We're fading out Were we ever standing here? it's unclear [Interlude: Heath McNease] I promise not to call If you promise not to write And We'll find another tree To carve our names inside Fall for someone new In the middle of July We were perfect in the sun In the winter we're a lie (x3) [Hook: Jetty Rae] Summer time living it ain't easy here Makes me wonder why Autumn never disappears [?] [?] We're fading out Were we ever standing here? it's unclear
