Eleni Drake - Ribbons Lyrics

I oscillate around you
Like an unforgiving wave
Could you hurt me one more time
So then we can say goodbye
In our own familiar way

I slept for a long time
But my problems followed the next morning
Chipping away at my dawning
The blue turned to grey as my thoughts were forming

And I shed tears of blood
Just to see how much I cried
Feeling dizzy
Feeling helpless
I guess I should just forget this
Well you know how much I tried

My clarity is burning again
Fuck my resolution and light a cigarette
Itching for my fixture
In this unfamiliar picture
But I bet you won't notice me in the end

Is it fair that the rain keeps falling
And the sun doesn't shine
I forgot that I grew up in England
So I've got clouds attached to my mind

And I shed tears of blood
Just to see how much I cried
Feeling dizzy
Feeling helpless
I guess I should just forget this
Well you know how much I tried
You know how much I tried

And I shed tears of blood
Just to see how much I cried
Feeling dizzy
Feeling helpless
I guess I should just forget this
Well you know how much I tried
