Lyrics A Brighter Shade of Blue - Sleep On It

A Brighter Shade of Blue

Like flowers at your mother’s wedding
The brighter shade of blue
I’m clutching to the way I felt about you
Before the bags under my eyes
From tossing in my bed at night
Now I know I never really loved you
Your parents tied a knot just like the one that’s in my chest
The home they built is broken from the silence
You hold the past over your head
Drowning in your self regret
I’ll never be enough for what you wanted
I’ll never know what’s good for me
So go ahead, tear me down
'Cause I am weaker than I seem
Yeah it’s cool 'cause I can smile and pretend
That you’re not wasting space in my head
The record keeps on skipping all the songs you love the most
You’re everything I hate about the east coast
You always said that I would be a warmth that you could hold
You are only just a blanket that always left my feet cold
I’ll never know what’s good for me
So go ahead, tear me down
'Cause I am weaker than I seem
Yeah it’s cool 'cause I can smile and pretend
That you’re not wasting space in my head
Now I’m shaking, you’re drying in the breeze
I’ve been trying to wash the memories out of our sheets
I’ll never know what’s good for me
So go ahead, tear me down
'Cause I am weaker than I seem
Yeah it’s cool 'cause I can smile and pretend
That you’re not wasting space in my head
You’re not a waste of space to me
Like flowers at your father’s wedding
The brightest shade of blue
I’m questioning the way I feel about you
