Red   





Saw you looking for a light 

Face painted cigarette white 

You asked the cleanest boy you found 

You couldn't see me turned around 

His fingers stretched across your empty gaze 

That I just can't escape 

 

As the red fades from your wrinkled dress 

A picture of the people you've impressed 

Hangs on a wall around here 

Vision starts to crawl when I'm near 

And the evening waits  

While you get caught up to your own mistakes 

Made up different lines 

I wouldn't wanna keep in my mind 

 

I wondered why you'd come around 

Remembering your little girl frown 

Your answers kept the crowd at bay 

With compliments unwilling to pay 

I had some things I'd like to say to you 

But they just can't be true
