Channel Street

Why did you try to see the best in me?
When I can't even think about anyone but myself
The way I drag you through gravel
The trees
Their changing leaves
This was meant to be my favourite season
But I can't think of worse times in my life

I was treacherous
You mistook my blinding flames for warmth
Does a spark want to blaze everything?
Or does it not know anything else?
Give your blinding faith to someone else
But let me get through this first

I can't take hit after hit
While you count down the days 'til I depart
That day we walked into town
You always made me get the train
I didn't want to but I did it anyway

You told me the name of the street
In case I want to put it in a song
And you lied to me
When you said you love me more
You didn't even love me at all
But once upon a time

You planted lavender in my garden
When I chose drought over rain (rain)
I blamed you for why lavender never came
When I let water fall
You had used up all your seeds

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

I wanted to hold the open fire torch
But if I knew where I was going
You'd still be scorched
I wanted to hold the open fire torch

You'd be scorched
You'd be scorched

You'd be scorched
You'd be scorched

You'd be scorched
You'd be scorched
