Don't Throw Me Away

Don’t throw me away

Verse 1
I put my life in a paper cup
Fill it up fill it up fill it up,
Told myself that I had to drown you out
Put my change in my new blues jeans,
Tired of pocketing these magic beans,
Told myself what my dreams were all about.

Chorus
But I wasn’t looking for someone to find me,
When I turn around she is still there behind me,
And all I can do I think how nice your hands are to hold.
Well, I tried to be cool yeah I tried to be cold,
But it seems that I bought into all that you sold,
Is it too much to hope that you’d colour in all of this grey
So don’t throw me away

Verse 2
I put my life in a bottomless book,
I won’t look I won’t look I won’t look,
I told myself not to turn forward to the last page,
I put my prayers up against the wall,
Tired of not forgetting all the nice things however small
I told myself the final curtain will clear the stage

Chorus
I wasn’t looking for someone to find me,
When I turn around she is still there behind me,
And all I can do I think how nice her hands are to hold
I tried to be cool and I tried to be cold,
But I seem to bought just about all that you sold
Is it too much to hope that you’d
Separate real from the fake
So don’t throw me away

Verse 3
I put my life in a cardboard box,
I burned my shoes and then I burned my socks
But there’s one thing that I forget to do,
Put my mind in the tumble-dryer,
Tired of not acknowledging all this desire,
Told myself that the fire burns for you.
