Break me gently, kill me softly shot gun I'm cool like water that breaks against the shore You did this for him, you left him wanting more I spent so long trying to write the perfect song (The waves on my back) But it ended up dead (Will tear at my heart no more) In pieces, in pieces In pieces on the floor Streetlights keep me warm tonight Because she sleeps in another (relieve me, relieve me) Because she sleeps in another city (relieve me from your pain) (Relieve me, relieve me, relieve me from your pain) If my first means nothing then don't let my (Keep it tight, keep it tight, keep it tight) Last go to waste with your misery (Keep it tight, keep it tight, keep it tight) Will you meet me in Riverside? We can't be late I burnt my eyes trying to find a reason for this to fall apart I'm breathing oceans and distorting my losses The black clouds around your eyes soften me And, when I see the Sun, I'll know Love must be close And I'll show you how it should be done Real passion and real grace, my love I'm not faceless like the fraud you used to give yourself to July, July, the day dawn came July, July, the day dawn came July, July, the day dawn came July, July, the day dawn came Blossoming with a heart With a heart Blossoming with a heart to break With a heart to break in half
