lyrics

Well I've seen your face
And it reminds me of mine
And it's so colorful
Oh your hands are so colorful
Don't ever change
Not for me
Not for anyone
Don't ever change
Not for me
Not for anyone

I don't wanna fight anymore
Don't wanna waste our nights anymore
Don't wanna play pretend on your floor

On your floor
Oh on your floor

Don't ever change
Not for me
Not for anyone
Don't ever change
Not for me
Oh not for anyone

I was in love with you
Crazy right
Who knows where you kept my space
Well I'll hold this note
And I'll repeat this phrase
I'll hold this note
And I'll repeat this phrase
And forget about it

That's all you want me to do

Well I don't wanna fight anymore
Don't wanna waste our nights anymore
I don't wanna play pretend on your floor

On your floor
On your floor
On your floor
On your floor
On your floor
On your floor

Well there's no answer
So where will I put you
And there's no demons so
How will I scare you
My time is short
But your's keeps coming
My bones still break
So why am I running
