Bright Eyes - No Lies, Just Love Lyrics

It was in the March of the winter, I turned seventeen 
That I bought those pills 
I thought I would need 
And I wrote a letter to my family 
Said it's not your fault 
And you've been good to me 
It's just lately I've been feeling 
Like I don't belong 
Like the ground's not mine to walk upon 
And I've heard that music 
Echo through the house 
Where my grandmother drank 
By herself 
And I sat watching a flower 
As it was withering 
I was embarrassed by it's honesty 
So I'd prefer to be remembered as a smiling face 
Not this fucking wreck 
That's taken its place 

So please forgive what I have done 
No, you can't stay mad at the setting sun 
Cause we all get tired, I mean eventually 
There is nothing left to do but sleep 

But spring came bearing sunlight 
Those persuasive rays 
So I gave myself a few more days 
My salvation it came, quite suddenly 
When Justin spoke very plainly 
He said, "Of course it's your decision, 
But just so you know, 
If you decide to leave, 
Soon I will follow." 

I wrote this for a baby 
Who has yet to be born 
My brother's first child 
I hope that womb's not too warm 
Cause it's cold out here 
And it will be quite a shock 
To breathe this air 
To discover loss 
So I'd like to make some changes 
Before you arrive 
So when your new eyes meet mine 
They won't see no lies 
Just love. 
Just love. 

I will be pure 
No, no, I know I will be pure 
Like snow, like gold 
Like snow, like gold 
(So please forgive what I have done 
No, you can't stay mad at the setting sun 
Cause we all get tired, I mean eventually 
There is nothing left to do but sleep) 
Like snow, like snow 
(So please forgive what I have done 
No, you can't stay mad at the setting sun 
Cause we all get tired, I mean eventually 
There is nothing left to do but sleep) 
Like gold, like gold, like gold
