Silver Lyrics by Emma Beckett

Drop Out

2018

When I look into your eyes the only colour there is silver
And much to my surprise you think I'm seeing gold
I'll take sandpaper to my fingertips so I can't tell the difference
Between the spot where I'll stop, when the end was my goal
I won't remember what you looked like when you first walked in the room
Your favourite song will be nothing more to me than just an empty tune
In a crowd it won't be hard to look at anyone but you
You know I'll try to love you, but I'll love her too
First scratch, surface grabs attention, you'll be used to that much
But when you break it down the bits and pieces don't add up to much
And I'll take what you give me, no I won't put it down
And I can try my best but I can't promise I won't drown
In all these words
'Cause I would be lying
If I said I didn't wish your eyes were golden instead
You tell me what I need to hear it should be music to my ears
There's something missing from the sound, I wouldn't hear it fade
I'll find it under the earth, I'll know exactly what it's worth
But you know that flash isn't everything babe
Would you hate me if you knew
Or am I the same to you
And I'll take what you give me, no I won't put it down
And I can try my best but I can't promise I won't drown
In all these words
'Cause I would be lying
If I said I didn't wish your eyes were golden instead
You're shining, but you're not for me
She's shining, but it's not for me
And I'm trying, but you want more from me
She's shining, but it's not for me, not for me
Oh and you're shining, but you're not for me, not for me
Oh and she's shining, but it's not for me, not for me
Oh and I'm trying, but you want more from me, more from me
It hurts when she's shining, 'cause it's not for me
And you're only morphine to me
