Mirage

I loved you even when I was ruining it
When I was lost in the palm of your hand
Walked down the empty cobblestone streets
Shared a jacket out on the beach

Now the stars are all awash in my brutal blue collage
How could I hold you when you're just a mirage?

Laundry out on the line
Waves in the alleyway
A white cat walked up to you
You were burning brighter
Pockets full of sand, my hand stained with ink
They're not the woman she was raised to be

Now the sun is going down in your brutal blue collage
How could I hold you when you're just a mirage?

Apartment key and a sweater in a backpack
Took the last train back
And wandered down by the old waterfront
The honking cars, the tourists are all gone

So I'll keep you there in my brutal blue collage
How could I hold you when you're just a mirage?
The stars are all awash in my brutal blue collage
How can I hold you when you're just a mirage?
