Bleed These Colours Hushed Cries Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I get it's best just to move on
But you're real good for a sad song
Yet another pop hit in the mix
Played back-to-back, pistols at dawn
You've been Swifted, now tell me
Is such a normal thing that wrong?
Sincerely, not really cause I clearly
Loved you so dearly for so long

(Bass)

[Chorus]
I try to avoid the idea
That if I wrote to you sometime
A simple hello, hey or hi
Just might have turned the tide
So I would no longer be waking
With weary eyes, staring at night skies
Hushed cries in my pillow

[Verse 2]
People ask how I stay so calm
I simply remind 'em to breathe
But our memories never fail
To bring the anger out of me
Listen, I'm happy that you're happy
But I hate that you're laughing
Seeing red lights like in traffic
Drives me psychopathic – back it up Back it up now

[Chorus]
I try to avoid the idea
That if I wrote to you sometime
A simple hello, hey or hi
Just might have turned the tide
So I would no longer be waking
With weary eyes, staring at night skies
Hushed cries in my pillow

[Verse 3]
Remember when you gave me your all
Right there on my bedroom floor
Everything made sense way back then
Now you're someone else's friend
Quick, I need a paper and pen now
To process this the only way I know how
But there's no space on the page

[Chorus]
I try to avoid the idea
That if I wrote to you sometime
A simple hello, hey or hi
Just might have turned the tide
So I would no longer be waking
With weary eyes, staring at night skies
Hushed cries in my pillow
[x2]

[Coda]
Hushed cries in my pillow [x4]
