The Wild Reeds - Not An Option lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1] My blood gets thinner when I drink You doubt, make you love me And my heart gets stronger when it bleeds It happens so quick, like skinning your knees [Pre-Chorus] All of my sadness boils down to one fact I want someone to do what I can't do for myself [Chorus] But that's not an option, I'm only human Nostalgia lies and sets the truth on fire [Verse 2] My house cries when I leave All my fingerprints, on the doors, they turn pink Pink like my mind when I think about you It's not often the world hands it to you [Pre-Chorus] All of my sadness boils down to one fact I want someone to do what I won't do for myself [Chorus] That's not an option, I'm only human Nostalgia lies and sets the truth on fire You're not a savior, but I wish that you were And with each little lie we set the world on fire [Bridge] I've been sifting through my dreams And I'm looking for the clues Gathering the evidence Chasing down the muse But the maps have no coordinates No footsteps to follow in [Verse 2] Somedays, when the sky is clear I believe we can undo the lies that got us here
