Amethyst (Live)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She was a tired high school graduate With the whole world in her eyes She kinda felt like she had lost it And couldn't figure out her price So inviting was his constant open door With the old school rap songs playin' Sendin' hard bass through the floorboards He was a Bare-chested brute to some With an unsettling smile He was too intense for anyone But a curious young girl who stayed a while The way he made his music The words and the webs he wove Counting out his rhythms to the sky While her young blue eyes were closed [Pre-Chorus] And oranges and olives 'Cause you knew they were my favorite And living lilies in the pots Instead of cut ones in the vases (And oh) [Chorus] I wish I kept all the letters I burned All the emails I deleted All the memories I earned You know We live the same life each time Over and over again But with each reincarnation I make the same mistakes again Done things, done things I don't believe in But who hasn't done that? You done things, done things I don't believe in But who hasn't done that? Done things, done things I don't believe in It doesn't make you bad I can't stand all this devotion from Your rugged hands, tanned skin But he's still young [Verse 2] It was a day of insecurity Clouding over a diamond mind She vowed she wouldn't break and feel for him Today she couldn't think of why Her fortress breaking she let Another kiss slip by Too exhausted and content to have Her ego revitalized And yet still The days went on and on She winced as each one passed Another genuine good animal Who had given her far more than she could ask When her guard slipped too far Mind turned icy cold Her eyes were filled with pepper And her chest began to fold [Pre-Chorus] I had a dream that I was caught in a tornado And I was flying with a smile 'Til it got so strong that my back broke (And oh) [Chorus] Wish I kept all the letters I burned All the emails I deleted All the memories I earned You know We live the same life each time Over and over again Reincarnation Make the same mistakes again Done things, done things I don't believe in But who hasn't done that? You done things, done things I don't believe in But who hasn't done that? Done things, done things I don't believe in It doesn't make you bad I can't stand all this devotion from Your rugged hands, tanned skin But he's still young Rugged hands, tanned skin But he's still young Can't stand devotion from Your rugged hands, tanned skin But he's still young [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause told me I'd been making this decision now for ages I would say no Each lifetime now he wanted me to change it The same day that I broke him He had given me a bracelet And he was holding Twin in his hands As he watched me drive away (And oh) [Chorus] Wish I kept all the letters I burned And all the emails I deleted All the memories I earned You know We live the same life each time Over and over again But with each reincarnation I make the same mistakes again You done things, done things I don't believe in But who hasn't done that? Done things, done things I don't believe in And who hasn't done that? You done things, done things I don't believe in It doesn't make you bad I can't stand all this devotion from Your rugged hands, tanned skin But he's still young Rugged hands, tanned skin But he's still young Can't stand devotion from Your rugged hands, tanned skin But he's still young
