[Verse 1]

I'm kicking down your love

Faded like a light gone old

Hanging there in empty space

Out there in the hazy fog

I'm not saying it's your fault

But you hid it under blankets

Oh baby let me go

Release me from your handle. I never wanna know


[Chorus]

You used to shine so bright, but you

Soured at the taste of a bitter leaf

Took it all out on me but I see

Through you and you won't be causing me no grief, anymore

You used to shine so bright, but you

Soured at the taste of a bitter leaf

Took it all out on me but I see

Through you and you won't be causing me no grief, anymore


[Verse 2]

Hanging loose from the wall

Strips and flakes of paint

I'm tearing down your love

And all the last remains

I can feel the roof crash down

But maybe I'm dreaming

Lying on a redwood floor

Eyes fixed on the ceiling. I never leave it on


[Chorus]

You used to shine so bright, but you

Soured at the taste of a bitter leaf

Took it all out on me but I see

Through you and you won't be causing me no grief, anymore

You used to shine so bright, but you

Soured at the taste of a bitter leaf

Took it all out on me but I see

Through you and you won't be causing me no grief, anymore


[Outro]

You used to shine so bright, but you

Soured at the taste of a bitter leaf

Took it all out on me but I see

Through you and you won't be causing me no grief

You used to shine so bright, but you

Soured at the taste of a bitter leaf

Took it all out on me but I see

Through you and you won't be causing me no grief, anymore

You used to shine so bright, but you

Soured at the taste of a bitter leaf

Took it all out on me but I see

Through you and you won't be causing me no grief, anymore

You used to shine so bright, but you

Soured at the taste of a bitter leaf

Took it all out on me but I see

Through you and you won't be causing me no grief, anymore
