lyrics

I once knew a girl I loved more than myself
more than the world, it’s such a shame
She was found in the bathtub blue skin, bloody drain
The water over her head, her insides out upon her chest
Least that’s what her mother said
When she called to share the news
To curse my name
As if I didn’t already share in the blame
Like we shared all our secrets and pain
Shared those bitter narcotics
Whose sedative powers made elly grow flowers & fade away
fade away

Elly I’m sorry I couldn’t stay
The blue sea and sky kept on calling out to me anyway
Elly how I’m sorry it had to end this way
I’ll always love you but it’s time I learn to walk away

I don’t know if you’ve got a grave
I’ve got nothing to visit no pictures to frame
I don’t know if I can quite handle the days
When I forget if you were real at all
Or just something I conjured up in my brain
Tell me why, why, why,
I’ve cry, cry, cry, cried
And the answer always comes
From the nothing up above
There’s no reason some things fall
And if there’s meaning in it all
I couldn’t say, some things grow flowers & fade

Elly how I’m sorry you couldn’t stay
I’m gonna keep living even if there’s no point anyway
Elly how I’m sorry your life went so astray
I’ll always love you but it’s time I learn to walk away
