lyrics

I think in terms of black and blue
I never saw red until I met you
And I still think about the times I never kissed you
Running through the rain without your umbrella

How do I live on this island without you
Sweating, screaming, tearing at my sheets
Still dreaming about getting locked outside
Pouring out my future in a beer you couldn't drink

So let me ruin this
So let me ruin this now
I want to ruin this now
I'll only twist your arm if you twist my words
It hurts when you ignore me and it hurts to go unheard

I'm tired of screaming in the shower
I'm tired of waking up with aching hands
Spent the night lighting matches on my roof
Burning down my fingers and burning down our house

I want to ruin this
I want to ruin this now
I want to ruin this now
I'll only break your heart if I break my word
It hurts when you avoid me and it hurts to go unheard

I wish that I could hear true silence
I wish I was someone who I'm not
Someone who hates you
Someone who can't stand you
I wish I was someone more like you

When I think about my black decision, I think about you
When I think about our hearts' collision, I see blue
And the only color I ever want to see is red
Yeah, the only color I ever want to see is red
Is red
Is red
