lyrics

Green Tea

Verse 1
I've been drinking green tea,
and making myself bleed,
Learning how to cry silently.
‘Cause in the silence,
you can hear,
that sweet melody.

Chorus
So, please, please.
Won't you let me in?
I can't cry alone.
And I can feel the sadness,
Creeping into my bones.

Verse 2
Your laughter used to be my heart song.
Now it cuts like a knife.
And I've been dreaming, of those nights.
When I swore I'd make you my wife.
Chorus

Verse 3
You gave me a spine,
When I used up all nine.
Of my lives.
You saw through my veil,
Blew wind in my sails,
Made sure I'd arrive.

Safe, safe and sound.
Both feet firmly on the ground.
Heavy lidded, level headed that's me!
That's me, that's you.

Remember when you couldn't even go to bed.
Until you told me just how much you loved me, but instead.
We'd end up kissing, oh so sweetly, and you said,
"I'll make sure this never ends."

Were you simply lying? Or is this just a phase?
Will I get to see your pretty face?
Smiling at me, just the way you did, that day?
