yellow is the color of her eyes

The bright August sun feels like yellow And the white of her eyes is so yellow The tiny lie I told to myself is making me hollow I've been choking out truths that I couldn't swallow I'm fallin' apart over a memory And the weight in my heart is getting too heavy 'Cause every word is a nail that slips in slowly And I can't hammer it down enough to keep holding in And I could lie but It's never made me feel good Inside I'm still so blue Can't erase the hue It's just colored over I'm thinking of her from over the ocean See her face in the waves, her body is floating And in her eyes, like clementines, I know that she's fading And the light of the sun is only a daydream And I could lie but It's never made me feel good Inside I'm still so blue Can't erase the hue It's just colored over Loving you isn't enough You'll still be deep in the ground when it's done I'll know the day when it comes I'll feel the cold as they put out my sun Loving you isn't enough You'll still be deep in the ground when it's done I'll know the day when it comes I'll feel the cold as they put out my sun
