[Intro]
Stop selling me blue sky
In a grey light
Like the clouds won't fill with rain
Believing a white lie
Like it's divine
And it holds up
[Verse 1]
I should've never had to choose
I shouldn't have to count the hours
I've heard the rain comes with the blues
But I'm still waiting on the flowers
I came up empty and confused
Like all I've got is really ours
Show me there's more to the truth
Like honesty's yours to construe
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, well, I've been trying to bе silent but I can't hold out forever
I'm working through thе pain but I don't know if I'll deliver
I tried to be more than you wanted
I keep coming back to the place where we started, all alone
I'm falling on my knees, hold up my hands and I surrender
I'm crying at the sky like all I have is now or never
I tried, love
Ooh, I tried
[Chorus]
Stop selling me blue sky
In a grey light
Like the clouds won't fill with rain
Believing a white lie
Like it's divine
And it holds my fall from grace
I've been tryna live three lives
At the same time
Now I don't know who's to blame
No telling me no
I know, I know the feeling takes me whole
[Verse 2]
'Til it all goes black
And I try not to erase my flaws
I don't know
I don't mind
Keep me up
Leave me blind
Call it tongue-tied
At a brake light
Or my demise
Closed eyes
Won't lie
Know why
You throw it all away
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I've been trying to be silent but I can't hold out forever
I'm working through the pain but I don't know if I'll deliver
I tried to be more than you wanted
I keep coming back to the place where we started, all alone
I'm falling on my knees, hold up my hands and I surrender
I'm crying at the sky like all I have is now or never
I tried, love
Ooh, I tried
[Chorus]
Stop selling me blue sky
In a grey light
Like the clouds won't fill with rain
Believing a white lie
Like it's divine
And it holds my fall from grace
I've been tryna live three lives
At the same time
Now I don't know who's to blame
No telling me no
I know, I know the feeling takes me whole
