Anna Flyaway - Her Color Blue Lyrics

Swear it won't come to this-
It dies, or I die

Wrapped my fingers in pirouettes
(undid promises I could not keep)

And I gathered my confidence,
Lifted words that I could not spend
And forced them through crooked speech
And willed all the words out

I will tear you down! I will tear you down!
Are you alright?
Get up and fight back, temper your tongue like a saint

You are still young, you will still learn to love me

(When will you love me?)

When I spoke, you did not hear,
Turned your ears up to tune me out
And laughed when I cried out!

You said everything has a price
Spoke with weight I did not feel

When you were young, were you this sad-
Or did age bear the sharper half?

I will tear you down! I will tear you down!
Are you alright?
Get up and fight back, temper your tongue like a saint

You are still young, you will still learn to love me
