Small Disasters

Rest my head against the wall Waiting for a call that never came 'Cause time moves so slowly When you're still holding onto blame I tried but can't forget the day You were reaching for my hand as I touched your face When your secrets were still safe from me Till your eyes gave you away 'Cause we are drowning above the water In a movie drained of color Luckless lovers With a past that's just a string of small disasters I'd give it all just to feel something real And now I see the warning signs With the benefit of hindsight, I was blind To the way you'd make me feel so crazy Just to protect your lies And all I wanted was the truth The better part of you that I still see 'Cause love is all we have to give But you took my best for free 'Cause we are drowning above the water In a movie drained of color Luckless lovers With a past that's just a string of small disasters I'd give it all just to feel something real And the one thing that really hurts is We were so close to being perfect And I know you'll be okay And that's what kills me, yeah 'Cause we are drowning above the water In a movie drained of color Luckless lovers With a past that's just a string of small disasters 'Cause we are drowning above the water In a movie drained of color Luckless lovers With a past that's just a string of small disasters I'd give it all just to feel something real (something real) Oh, I'd give it all just to feel something real --- Small Disasters - Dean Lewis
