a thousand words

Melanie Martinez

How can I see when my eyes are closed?
How can you be so far away and already wanna go?
How can we talk when our mouths are closed?
And I want you to know
I can't fix what you have broke

Close my eyes and go to sleep, ohh
You're the last thing
The last thing that I see
I had a thousand words to say
You just chose to walk away
And now you're happy, now you're free, ohh
You gave me your heart
And took it back from me
Now I've seen the light of day
Boy, you don't mean shit to me

How can we write when the ink is gone?
Our loves an empty page
That you've never written on
How can we be what we used to be?
Was it all just make-believe
When my heart was on my sleeve

Close my eyes and go to sleep, ohh
You're the last thing
The last thing that I see
I had a thousand words to say
You just chose to walk away
And now you're happy, now you're free, ohh
You gave me your heart
And took it back from me
Now I've seen the light of day
Boy, you don't mean shit to me

Our love's a postcard on its way
Heading towards your destiny
Our love's a postcard on its way
Heading towards your destiny
Our love's a postcard on its way
Heading towards your destiny
Our love's a postcard on its way
Heading towards your destiny

Close my eyes and go to sleep, ohh
You're the last thing
The last thing that I see
I had a thousand words to say
You just chose to walk away
And now you're happy, now you're free, ohh
You gave me your heart
And took it back from me
Now I've seen the light of day
Boy, you don't mean shit to me
