yellow is the color of her eyes

The bright August sun feels like yellow

And the white of her eyes is so yellow

The tiny lie I told to myself is making me hollow

I've been choking up truths that I couldn't swallow

I'm falling apart over a memory

And the weight in my heart is getting too heavy

'Cause every word is a nail that's loosening slowly

And I can't hammer it down enough to keep holding in

And I could lie

But it's never made me feel good inside

I'm still so blue

Can't erase the hue, it's just colored over

I'm thinking of her from over the ocean

See her face in the waves, her body is floating

And in her eyes, like clementines, I know that she's fading

And the light of the sun is only a daydream

And I could lie

But it's never made me feel good inside

I'm still so blue

Can't erase the hue, it's just colored over

Loving you isn't enough

You'll still be deep in the ground when it's done

I'll know the day when it comes

I'll feel the cold as they put out my sun

Loving you isn't enough

You'll still be deep in the ground when it's done

I'll know the day when it comes

I'll feel the cold as they put out my sun
