lyrics

I used to be content with knowing nothing,
Like someone hanging pictures in the dark.
I ignored every warning and listened to my heart;
Knowing it was deaf and dumb and blind and full of lies.
You pulled the rug from under me. You left me in a desert with no trees.

I’m suffering from shock and I’m feeling very lost.
Wouldn’t be surprised at the lives that this has cost.
Take me to the sticks ‘cause I’m fixed on seeing stars.
I forget they’re there. You don’t see them down here.

To see you moving on is more than hard.
So don’t make it worse by dragging me behind the car.
And telling me every regret you have is wreaking havoc with my heart.
If you ever wanna take me back, I hope I have more dignity than that.

How you s’posed to breathe when your lungs are filled with frost?
Wouldn’t be surprised at the lives that this has cost.
Take me to the sticks ‘cause I’m fixed on seeing stars.
I forget they’re there. You don’t see them down here.

One day the dust will settle down with my heart.
I’ll stop being resentful and drift apart.
Until then I gotta grit my teeth,
If he loved me he wouldn’t leave.
And that should be all I need.
