Permanent Lyrics by Cortéz

Faded - EP

2016

[Verse 1]
I cut my nose inside the pool
Called myself trying to get to you
I held my breath and tried to swim from you
I drove 120 on the road
Tried to be dead before the morning
Cause I knew you wouldn't save me, no

[Pre-Chorus]
It's clear that you don't want me here
When in public, I disappear
These scars are permanent, my dear
I wonder if they'll ever heal

[Verse 2]
I close my mouth around our friends
You're thinking here we go again
But I'm trying so hard not to make you mad
You always think I'm mad at you
You cut my spirits when you do
Well slice me up cause I'm a heart beating for two
And it's hard

[Pre-Chorus]
It's clear that you don't want me here
When in public, you disappear
These scars are permanent, my dear
I wonder if they'll ever heal

[Breakdown]

[Outro]
I cut my nose inside the pool
Called myself trying to get to you
