lyrics

Those flashing lights weren't the only thing on my mind
Drink after drink
I couldn't cap off the night
‘Cause the way you stormed out the door (and never looked me in the eye)
Has left me longing for so much more

I knew her lips would taste of poison
But that couldn't stop me

Why do we keep burning ourselves to the ground
Not a regard for more than this moment
We're not made of diamonds or gold and I'm bleeding out, still fearing being alone

Someone tell me why we still see gold in each other's eyes
And why we try to navigate all the lies
We're like black roses who can't hide our thorns
(Please show us the sun)

Why do we keep burning ourselves to the ground
Not a regard for more than this moment
We're not made of diamonds or gold and I'm bleeding out, still fearing being alone

We are black roses who can't hide our thorns
Please show us the sun
