hills like white elephants

these are the veins of the way that we love

these are the hearts of lonely people ripped in front of us

things aren't the way that we-

love as if you didn't know at all

never once

never knew

painted glass with no love

so uptight and desperate for attention

we're all lost and begging to be found

with every word you say

you lead everyone on

these are the veins of the way that we love

these are the hearts of lonely people ripped in front of us

you've stopped before the sayer says a word

i need to take it out on you

as hard as i can and let you

let you have it all

do i make you?

don't start

don't start

shaking again

she can make the salt taste like sugar on her hands but

if love is a way out

then please let me in

don't start

darling

don't you turn my nightmares into dreams again

with every word you say

you lead everyone on

these are the veins of the way that we love

these are the hearts of lonely people ripped in front of us

we all did what we had to do

we all did what we had to do

we all did what we had to do

we all did what we

what we had to do

what we had to do

these are the veins of the way that we love

these are the hearts of lonely people ripped in front of us
