[Verse 1]
Walking through the grass
Another blade next to you, from the ground
As the wind does pass
Unnoticed as you feel the breath of my shout
Your words are kind
The kind that repeatedly say no
But that's alright
I'm older than you, so I've got time
[Chorus]
What have you said, reach out your hand
There's a black shadow on my wall
But as I look, into my mind
I can see that girls are a waste of time
[Verse 2]
We've all seen the bridge
A broken seam and a girl on one side
You think words will work
They only work when you lay down and close your eyes
I thought of all the lines
All the right ones used at all the wrong times
But that's alright
Depression's just a sarcastic state of mind
[Chorus]
What have you said, reach out your hand
There's a black shadow on my wall
But as I look, into my mind
I can see that girls are a waste of time
[Bridge]
I don't want to live alone
I don't want to live in
My broken dreams of you
[Outro]
I don't want to live alone in
My broken dreams of you
I don't want to live alone with
My broken dreams of you
Walking through the grass
Another blade next to you, from the ground
As the wind does pass
Unnoticed as you feel the breath of my shout
Your words are kind
The kind that repeatedly say no
But that's alright
I'm older than you, so I've got time
[Chorus]
What have you said, reach out your hand
There's a black shadow on my wall
But as I look, into my mind
I can see that girls are a waste of time
[Verse 2]
We've all seen the bridge
A broken seam and a girl on one side
You think words will work
They only work when you lay down and close your eyes
I thought of all the lines
All the right ones used at all the wrong times
But that's alright
Depression's just a sarcastic state of mind
[Chorus]
What have you said, reach out your hand
There's a black shadow on my wall
But as I look, into my mind
I can see that girls are a waste of time
[Bridge]
I don't want to live alone
I don't want to live in
My broken dreams of you
[Outro]
I don't want to live alone in
My broken dreams of you
I don't want to live alone with
My broken dreams of you
