I loved you even when I was ruining it
When I was lost in the palm of your hand
Walked down the empty
Cobblestone streets
Shared a jacket high out on the beach
Now the stars are all awash
In my brutal blue collage
How could I hold you when you're just a mirage
Laundry out on the line
Waves in the alleyway
A white cat walked up to you
You were burning brighter
Pockets full of sand
My hand stained with ink
They're not the woman she was raised to be
Now the sun is going down
In your brutal blue collage
How could I hold you when you're just a mirage
Hmm?
Apartment key and a sweater in a backpack
Took the last train back
And wandered down by the old waterfront
The honking cars the tourists are all gone
So I'll keep you there in my brutal blue collage
How could I hold you when you're just a mirage
The stars are all awash
In my brutal blue collage
How can I hold you when you're just a mirage
Hmm?
