Annie Blue

You detonated my heart

There are bits scattered everywhere

In the folded pages of our favourite book

Down the sides of every chair

Still hooked up on you, Annie Blue

 

To a point where I couldn’t function

My exquisite form of self-destruction

How did I get in this position

Love falls and a submission

Still hooked up on you, Annie Blue

 

Days follow nights on this slow-moving train

Catch you next time in the midnight rain

You only loved me when you felt alone

Drama queen tears on your cheekbone

Still hooked up on you ,Annie Blue

Never saw the lies you were shaping and bending

It’s only the movies that have a happy ending

Tell me the truth girl, you must confess

I was always your maybe, you were always my yes

Sill hooked up on you, Annie Blue.

 

Look at me, I went to war with myself,

For you,

Listen to me, I broke all my own rules

For you,

Fed my tears, I ignored all the warning signs

For you,

Still in love with you, Annie Blue

Trying so hard to remember what I need to forget

Yet here I am, another shot of scotch and sunset

Maybe next time we’ll get this right

To find the courage to stand and fight

How the hell did we end up in this position

 Love falls and a submission

Love falls and a submission

Love falls

Love fell
