Break me gently, kill me softly shot gun
I'm cool like water that breaks against the shore
You did this for him, you left him wanting more

I spent so long trying to write the perfect song (The waves on my back)
But it ended up dead (Will tear at my heart no more)
In pieces, in pieces
In pieces on the floor
Streetlights keep me warm tonight
Because she sleeps in another (relieve me, relieve me)
Because she sleeps in another city (relieve me from your pain)
(Relieve me, relieve me, relieve me from your pain)

If my first means nothing then don't let my
(Keep it tight, keep it tight, keep it tight)
Last go to waste with your misery
(Keep it tight, keep it tight, keep it tight)

Will you meet me in Riverside? We can't be late
I burnt my eyes trying to find a reason for this to fall apart

I'm breathing oceans and distorting my losses
The black clouds around your eyes soften me
And, when I see the Sun, I'll know
Love must be close

And I'll show you how it should be done
Real passion and real grace, my love
I'm not faceless like the fraud you used to give yourself to

July, July, the day dawn came
July, July, the day dawn came
July, July, the day dawn came
July, July, the day dawn came

Blossoming with a heart
With a heart
Blossoming with a heart to break
With a heart to break in half
