No Lies, Just Love
Bright Eyes
It was in the march of the winter I turned seventeen
That I bought those pills
I thought I would need
And I wrote a letter to my family
Said it s not your fault
And you ve been good to me
Just lately I ve been feeling
Like I don t belong
Like the ground s not mine to walk upon
And I ve heard that music
Echo through the house
Where my grandmother drank
By herself
And I sat watching a flower
As it was withering
I was embarrassed by its honesty
So I d prefer to be remembered as a smiling face
Not this fucking wreck
That s taken its place
So please forgive what I have done
No you can t stay mad at the setting sun
Cause we all get tired, I mean eventually
There is nothing left to do but sleep
But spring came bearing sunlight
Those persuasive rays
So I gave myself a few more days
My salvation
