Buzz Cut

Buzzed your hair short
And you dyed it blonde
In hopes that someone would notice you
But what you didn't notice baby
Is that you've been doin' better lately

Sat by the banks
And smoked until my lungs were black and bruised
In hopes that i would hear from you, soon
And just like that you called me crying
Told me that it's not worth the tyrant

I know that you were not
One of the lucky ones
A mind too bright and beautiful
A birthday without love
I smiled and told you honestly
"A lot of things will change for you this year"

And you forgot
Who you were when you were just a boy
I beg you please don't lose that joy
The bluest hues still wonder with you
The sombre tunes could never miss you

Picked your last bud
And you said maybe, well maybe not
So the colour from the petals stained your jeans
You need to know, I got you baby
You need to know, you're doing better lately

I know that you were not
One of the lucky ones
A mind too bright and beautiful

A birthday without love
I smiled and told you honestly
A lot of things will change for you this year
