Lyrics
Love, why'd you do this to me
Love, I know that you don't want me
But why can't you just be sweet
For a little while
Sorry I didn't think it through
The moments I have spent with you
I guess this town will turn back to blue
Now that you're facing someone new
The flowers you gave me on Valentine's didn't really shed away
They found a way up my lungs
Now it hurts every time that I take a breath
And the girls up North will dance for you and they will take my place
By then I'll let the rivers carry me away
Babe, is it fine if I still call you "babe"
The blue heart on my neck burns and I wish I was brave
To cut it and throw it away
I know you don't remember
But I'm missed by your mother
You know she read my letters
She knows the oceans I've covered
To the girls dancing in red dresses
To the girls of the True North, West Coast
Here is where I lay to rest, my love
Now's your turn to sing this song
The flowers you gave me on Valentine's didn't really shed away
They found a way up my lungs
Now it hurts every time that I take a breath
And the girls up North will dance for you and they will take my place
By then I'll let the rivers carry me away
Babe, is it fine if I still call you "babe"
The blue heart on my neck burns and I wish I was brave
To cut it and throw it away, yeah
Babe, is it fine if I still love you, babe
Don't worry, I'll always remember, you're still in my head
Let the girls up North carry my body away, yeah
