Retrograde Lyrics by Rematch

R3*

2024

[Verse 1]
Put your lipstick in a darker shade
Your mattress will become my grave
Move smeared lips to say
"I don't wanna live without you"
No, I don't believe in retrograde or washing off the makeup stains
Just your hair left on my pillowcase and the songs I write about you
And I don't wanna know
Just what you think you found in a dive bar with your shitty friends inside this dead end town
And I don't wanna know just where you draw the line
'Cause if we really knew we crossed it every time

[Chorus]
You told me to forget you and I did
You coverеd me in bad blood and bruises
I'm black and blue
I'm still holding out for long drivеs, late nights, white lines
I'll sit tight just to stare into your eyes
So blue for you

[Verse 2]
You wanna drink until you pass out and then you lash out
And you, then you wake and you blame me for the way you always wanna act out
It's in the past now and I'm only moving forward but
We can't get away from all of this
And I can't get a grip, I'm losing it
These hands keep shaking from the thought of it

[Chorus]
You told me to forget you and I did
You covered me in bad blood and bruises
I'm black and blue
I'm still holding out for long drives, late nights, white lines
I'll sit tight just to stare into your eyes
So blue for you

[Bridge]
I said I cross my heart, you said "I hope you die"
'Cause everything you said were all a fucking life
No matter where you're at in your pathetic life
Don't say my name

[Chorus]
You told me to forget you and I did
You covered me in bad blood and bruises
I'm black and blue
I'm still holding out for long drives, late nights, white lines
I'll sit tight just to stare into your eyes (I wanna stare into your eyes)
So blue for you
I'm still holding out for long drives, late nights, white lines
