Tell me one more time about the silver linings
I'm always too broke to afford
And I will show you gold
That met my palms
Made worthless when they got to know
The shapes of my fingerprints
Unwritten songs gasping for air
Inside my throat all taste like rust
And I buried everything in me that shined
Near the landmarks of my life
And I walked away
There's no X to mark the spot
So the parts of me worth anything
Are lost
I have always gotten
Headaches when my eyes
Catch the light just right so
Don't ask me to look on the bright side of anything
If I catch a glimpse of a glimmer
It's safer to pretend I'm blind
There's nothing left in me
For anyone to treasure
No glitter
No gold
Nothing worth holding on to
I used to glow
I used to know
How to make diamonds out of coal
I faced the music long ago
No one I have ever loved
Will ever love a song I wrote
I used to love
I used to be loved
I used to glow
I used to glow
