Sentimental value city,
fake gold jewelry
all the compliments he’s given got me livid
faith is d r i f t i n g like a comet
I thought I heard a sonnet
I thought he was Adonis
but he broke my little heart like it was just
a pinky promise
& there are bruises on my legs where yr fingers were
here I am feeling things I thought for sure I would never feel
and so I take another drag of yr cigarette
& hold yr hand like a purse I own
I know that it’s counterfeit but
I show it off like it’s real
I show it off like it’s real
Feelin Lazy on the floorboards,
blazin in the kitchen
all my words that i have given feel so distant
and my memory is f o l k l o r e
its hard not to accept more
not easy to behave
when there is no one to be sober for
there are bruises on my legs where yr fingers were
here I am feeling things I thought for sure I would never feel
and so I take another drag of yr cigarette
& hold yr hand like a purse I own
I know that it’s counterfeit but
I show it off like it’s real
I show it off like it’s real
and if an ice cube slipped into my throat
do you think that it would melt before I choked?
i know that its not safe to drink alone
so why do i do so?
there are bruises on my legs where yr fingers were
here I am feeling things I thought for sure I would never feel
and so I take another drag of yr cigarette
& hold yr hand like a purse I own
I know it’s a counterfeit but
I show it off like it’s real
I show it off like it’s real
Been listening to this album pretty frequently since picking it up. Really like the singer's voice and lyrics. A+.
I really hope they play NYC sometime! jjj
