Lyrics Burnt Out Eyes - False Serenity

It's been two days since Tuesday
I know your grips are barely holding on loosely
But let's just try to make it another two days
I keep thinkin' it'll change but every week, you say
It's just a hickey, I know it's not
You're walking on eggshells while dodgin' raindrops
And I know them long sleeves ain't just fashion
So don't give me no excuse that he's just passionate
Six months you've been putting up with this
I remember when you told me that his kiss
Made you feel like you was at the top of Mount Olympus
He calls you tangerine, fitting he's got you twisted
(Yeah) And when he's not around
Is the only time I see your frown
Go away, Angel, don't take his hand
He not tryna hold you down, he's tryna pull you down because

I know you're broken to pieces
I know you're tryna hit reset
I know you're trying to break free but
Sometimes our hearts get the better of us
I know you're broken to pieces
I know you're tryna hit reset
I know you're trying to break free but
Sometimes our hearts get the better of us

You've got burnt out eyes from your broken cries
Barbed wire around your throat, I know (I know)
How you feel, and I feel the same
I think it's time that we healed this pain
And I know that's the only thing you fear but
Why else do you think his kisses taste like teardrops
(Uh) And there used to be a sparkle in your eyes
And a fire in your soul, but now, by no big surprise
The flame has been put out by a blanket of bitter lies
And the only fire you catch a glimpse of is in the skies
So how you gonna tell me that
This is all heaven when I know he took you to Hell and back
And I swear to fucking God you can't see clear
'Cause I know that every time you sit and look in the mirror
You're tryna find a new face
With the make up in that blue case
Just tryna hide what you've faced
But I'm sorry, babe, it's too late
'Cause I see your burnt out eyes from your broken cries
Barbed wire around your throat, I know
You've got burnt out eyes from your broken cries
Barbed wire around your throat, I know, I know

I know you're broken to pieces
I know you're tryna hit reset
I know you're trying to break free but
Sometimes our hearts get the better of us
I know you're broken to pieces
I know you're tryna hit reset
I know you're trying to break free but
Sometimes our hearts get the better of us

You've got burnt out eyes from your broken cries
Barbed wire around your throat, I know, I know
