Clementine Lyrics by McCafferty

Clementine

2018

I was young and foolish but I was in love
You were kind and beautiful
Kindness is enough
I am truly blind, right before my eyes
Eat my clementine
Choke and hope to die
Fear is fear itself
But god I'm weak as hell
I used to love your smile
Know, it's been a while
Since I let these words
Back out of their cage
I am not a man
But my body's aged
The hair is turning grey
Older every day
Love my wife and kids
Makes me want to live
But I used to be
Kinda like you see
Used to want to die
Alone in my room and cry
Felt my mum and dad
Raise me really bad
If I can make things right
If I can change my ways
I can make you mine
If the time is right
Stay with me my love
Stay with me tonight
Build up the hope in my brain
Everyone knows I'm insane
Smash my head into the wall
Run to the exit again
Solely we both just exist
Make me feel like I'm a kid
Strong and together we stay
Fuck everyone in our way
We rise up the fight just to die
That's just how the world works sometimes
We're only as strong as the weak
And link you keep in your secrets
Pain without the connection
There's nothing one time for collection
And I will be the one
Who has to pay in blood
Build up the hope in my brain
Everyone knows I'm insane
Smash my head into the wall
Run to the exit again
Solely we both just exist
Make me feel like I'm a kid
Strong and together we stay
Fuck everyone in our way
We rise up the fight just to die
That's just how the world works sometimes
We're only as strong as the weak
And link you keep in your secrets
Pain without the connection
There's nothing one time for collection
And I will be the one
Who has to pay in blood
I can make you mine
If the time is right
Stay with me my love
Stay with me tonight
Build up the hope in my brain
Everyone knows I'm insane
Strong and together we stay
Fuck everyone in our way
I can make you mine
If the time is right
Stay with me my love
Stay with me tonight
Build up the hope in my brain
Everyone knows I'm insane

What? what? what? yes, I'm sorry. you're one of those people
