Lyrics
Look at the trees
How beautiful green is
I should’ve been greener
The night I met you
Gone are the things
That I took for granted
But granted, my mistakes
Were flowers in bloom
You make me depreciate in value
I don’t wanna call you
I don’t wanna be caught dead on the same planet as you
It might be just me
But the pit of my stomach
Feels tied like a pretzel
A knotted salted wound
You’re pulling on strings
Attached to my organs
I try to pretend, I
Don’t feel it at all
You make me depreciate in value
I don’t wanna call you
I don’t wanna be caught dead on the same planet as you
You took my fragile heart and
Beat it to a pulp
And fed it to the sharks
But I’ll be alright
Yeah, I’ll be just fine
Not afraid of the hard times
I’ve made it through lonely nights
I’ll fly away
No reason to stay here
You’ve dirtied a clean place
You ruined the best part of waking up here
You make me depreciate in value
I don’t wanna call you
I don’t wanna be caught dead on the same planet…
I’ll be alright
Yeah, I’ll be just fine
Not afraid of the hard times
I’ve made it through lonely nights
I’ll fly away
No reason to stay here
You’ve dirtied a clean place
You ruined the best part of waking up here
You make me depreciate in value
I don’t wanna call you
I don’t wanna be caught dead on the same planet as you
