Intro
uh oh oh oh
uh oh oh oh
Verse 1
if I were to count
how many times you said
you’d give me all the shiny stars
I would have enough to fill
a galaxy from all your lies
Pre Chorus
but i’m staring at the ceiling
i’m lying in my bed
i’m still thinking why I let you in my head
and if the story’s over
why am i still looking for closure?
writing the pages of a hopeless love
Chorus
and i’ll tell you why
you marked my life
on the good and on the bad side
and i’ll tell you why
i’m stuck in your eyes
but i can’t recognize
myself in your eyes
uh oh oh oh
Verse 2
if i were to ask
a wishing star
i’d wish to know who you are
cause lately I can’t even tell
what kinda person that you are
Pre Chorus
cause one day you wake up
turn the gray sky to blue
the next you go away saying “I hate you”
then you come back saying “baby i’m sorry i love you”
then you go away saying “i’m leaving you”
Chorus
and i’ll tell you why
you marked my life
on the good and on the bad side
and i’ll tell you why
i’m stuck in your eyes
but i can’t recognize
myself in your eyes
uh oh oh oh
Bridge
oh i don’t really need you
but i thought i could fix you
but there’s no hope whaen the damage can’t break through
and if i was led in the end
at least we’ve come to and end oh no
Chorus
and i’ll tell you why you marked my life
on the good and on the bad side
and i’ll tell you why
i’m stuck in your eyes
but i can’t recognize
myself in your eyes
uh oh oh oh
