Bright Eyes - No Lies, Just Love

It was in March of the winter
I turned seventeen
That I bought those pills
I thought I would need.

And I wrote a letter
To my family,
Said it's not your fault
And you've been good to me

It's just lately I've been feeling
Like I don't belong
Like the ground's not mine
To walk upon

And I've heard that music
Echo through the house
Where my grandmother drank
By herself

And I sat watching a flower
As it was withering
I was embarrassed by
It's honesty

'Cause I prefer to be remembered
As a smiling face
Not this f***ing wreck
That's taken it's pla-a-ace



So please forgive what I have done
But you can't stay mad at the setting sun
'Cause we all get tired, I mean eventually
There is nothing left to do but sleep



Spring came bearing sunlight
Those pursuasive rays
So I gave myself
A few more days

My salvation it came
Quite suddenly
When Justin spoke
Very plainly - He said

Now of course it's your decision
But just so you know
If you decide to leave
Soon I will fol-low



I wrote this for a baby
Who has yet to be born
My brother's first child
I hope that womb's not too warm

'Cause it's cold out here
And it will be quite a shock
To breathe this air
To discover loss

So I'd like to make some changes
Before you arrive
So when your new eyes meet mine
They won't see no lies
Just love

Just love

I will be pure
No-no-oh-no I will be pure!

Like snow
Like gold
Like snow!
Like gold!
		[So please forgive what I have done]
Like snow	[But you can't stay mad at the setting sun]
Like snow!	['Cause we all get tired, I mean eventually]
Like gold!	[There is nothing left to do but sleep]
Like gold!	[So please forgive what I have done]
		[But you can't stay mad at the setting sun]
		['Cause we all get tired,
Like gold				  I mean eventually]
		[There is nothing left to do but sleep]


REASON:
This is the song that started the whole song of the month thing...
Don't ask me why it made the song of the month for February, but
the lyrics are amazing.
