brown eyes*

I told her time floats by in the blink of an eye

You take one step back and there goes five

Hiding from the bombs back at home, would you give me a chance?

Because I've lost too much, I don't know where to stand

I told her time floats by in the blink of an eye

You take one step back and there goes five

Do you believe what you say, when you say that you care?

Do you believe what you say?

'Lieve, 'lieve what you say

Okay, I dropped it out my palm

Let's shoot some fuckin' heroin

And tell them we're in love

And every time that I

I'm out of time, I put all that weight on you

You can't help me now, well I'm too far down

What else would I do?

Don't look down, I'm tryin', no fightin'

Not right now, but I've been thinkin' 'bout how

Life goes on, she says from the high rise

I don't wanna fight for the wrong side

Time floats by in the blink of an eye

You take one step back and there goes five

Hiding from the bombs back home, would you give me a chance?

Because I've lost too much, I don't know where to stand

I told her time floats by in the blink of an eye

You take one step back and there goes five

Do you believe what you say, when you say that you care?

Do you believe what you say?

'Lieve, 'lieve what you say

She asked, "Why'd you lie?" a thousand times

It's so short and soon life'll pass me by

She fills her purse with cigs and all her petty crimes

You know it's all just fine, I'm tryna shut my eyes

Life goes on, she says, from the high rise

I won't bet my life on the wrong side

Tears fall down and light up the night sky

I can't see you cry from the front lines

Time floats by in the blink of an eye

You take one step back and there goes five

And from the bottles back home, would you give me a chance?

Because I've lost too much, I don't know where to stand

I told her time floats by in the blink of an eye

You take one step back and there goes five

Do you believe what you say, when you say that you care?

Do you believe what you say?

'Lieve, 'lieve what you say
