Mirage

[Verse 1]
I loved you even when I was ruining it
When I was lost in the palm of your hand
Walked down the empty cobblestone streets
Shared a jacket high out on the beach

[Chorus]
Now the stars are all awash in my brutal blue collage
How could I hold you when you're just a mirage?

[Verse 2]
Laundry out on the line
Waves in the alleyway
A white cat walked up to you
You were burning brighter
Pockets full of sand, my hand stained with ink
They're not the woman she was raised to be

[Chorus]
Now the sun is going down in your brutal blue collage
How could I hold you when you're just a mirage?

[Verse 3]
Apartment key and a sweater in a backpack
Took the last train back
And wandered down by the old waterfront
The honking cars, the tourists are all gone

[Chorus]
So I'll keep you there in my brutal blue collage
How could I hold you when you're just a mirage?
The stars are all awash in my brutal blue collage
How can I hold you when you're just a mirage?
