Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was stranded in this lonesome town But I felt your hand reach out for mine as I looked around As streams of salt ran from my eyes As you looked at me and couldn't help but form a smile [Pre-Chorus] I ignored the wrong way signs Captivated by the bluest skies Never thought you'd paint them gray [Chorus] I'm blue in the face I've held my breath for too long I'd disappear without a trace If you dropped my hand and left me alone I'd gather up my tears That I've lost throughout the years You can keep my name, you can keep a part of me But you won't keep haunting me [Verse 2] I was caught in this bittersweet I could have ran away but my stubbornness prevented me In a playground of misery I once thought was happiness until I felt you bury me [Pre Chorus 2] In the sands of my sadness That fell to as my time ran out My screams become a yawn [Chorus] I'm blue in the face I've held my breath for too long I'd disappear without a trace If you dropped my hand and left me alone I'd gather up my tears That I've lost throughout the years You can keep my name, you can keep a part of me But you won't keep haunting me [Bridge] I've tried changing for the better And I've tried changing you Like a smile that's scarred forever The pain keeps bleeding through But I found my sense of belief As the rain came over me And washed your mark away [Verse 3] Now this silence is deafening It might take me years to not find this peace unsettling Terrified of the sunrise Cause you took away my bluest skies But now I see the light of day [Chorus] I was blue in the face I held my breath for too long Now I walk away with grace From the cruelest place I've ever known I gathered up my tears That I lost throughout the years You'll keep my name, you'll keep a part of me (oh-oh) Yeah I gave you my best, but you'll never get the best of me Cause you won't keep haunting me
