Linger - Oceans Ate Alaska

You was always trying to make us

Into something we could never be

So you may as well erase me!

Best kept memories, worthless apologies

Inseparable, now you don’t even acknowledge me

You were all that I had, you were all that I had

We would run between the lines, and I would chase you every single time

Painting by numbers, how hard could it be?

Stole all the water colours from our dreams

Told me our future was all just make-believe

Ripped me open for my friends to see, destroyed my world and made me bleed

Lost the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen

You took my heart and painted it black, looking on the bright side is something

I lack

You were all that I had

I lie in my room pulling out my own hair, it gives me something to do,

but doesn’t get me anywhere

Not even time can repair the space you left here in my chest, you linger in the

air

Fuck the facts, you knew all along we would never last

You were all that I had, you were all that I had

We would run between the lines and I would chase you every single time

Painting by numbers, how hard could it be?

Stole all the water colours from our dreams

I lie in my room pulling out my own hair, it gives me something to do,

but doesn’t get me anywhere

Not even time can repair the space you left here in my chest

You linger in the air

I used to think you was beautiful, but now you’re just bland and I’m so cynical

Your colours faded away unlike my feelings for you
