Black & Bruised


Time was like water but you were like wine Sweet ocean, bruised, black, and bleeding the times Yeah, time was like water but you were wine I cant remember when you were mine Signs started bending, not towards the sun If only I'd have saved you from the things you'd done Never could've held you or have been the one Time was like water, now we're dying in thirst God damn I shoulda known that our love was cursed Yeah time was like water, but it drowned us first Time was like fire babe, but you were fine Time was unfolding in the streets each night Time was like everything I couldnt fight You were right We were like prophets but we didnt care I spent the days wasted just breathing your air Time was like water, babe, and you were divine You were like a circus of demented blues I've yet to find another who could fill your shoes I know I'll never find another dream like you Time was like water but I couldnt swim Time was of an essence and it felt like him Time was like water but he was mine Divine.
