Melanie Martinez
Blue Knees
[Verse 1]
Just 'cause I bought a band-aid
Doesn't mean I'm able to clean the
Scars that run deeper than all my old demons
I have to keep 'em under still water
Just 'cause you give me flowers
Doesn't cover up the smell of a dead body
Or raise the dead body of a girl who got shot down before
Just 'cause you crack the window
Doesn't mean I'm able to clear the air
That made it hard to breathe before you came around here
Just 'cause you say you lovе me
Doesn't mean that I'm gonna look you in thе eyes
Pretend to be surprised
And say I love you back (love you back)
[Chorus]
Cause I'm trippin', trippin' on rocks
Cuttin' on my ankles where I know the blood stops
Blue, blue knees
Fallin' for the next man who breathes
I need a band-aid recovery
Don't get too close 'cause you're really nothing to me
You're just a band-aid on my knees (oh ooh)
You're just a band-aid recovery
I'll rip you off when I bleed
I'll rip you off when I bleed
[Verse 2]
Just 'cause I'm coming over
Doesn't mean I'll be there when you wake up
'Cause coming over doesn't mean that I'm over him
Just 'cause you are my band-aid
Doesn't mean I want you to stick around
'Cause rebounds get washed away the next time it rains
[Chorus]
Cause I'm trippin', trippin' on rocks
Cuttin' on my ankles where I know the blood stops
Blue, blue knees
Fallin' for the next man who breathes
I need a band-aid recovery
Don't get too close 'cause you're really nothing to me
You're just a band-aid on my knees (oh ooh)
You're just a band-aid recovery
I'll rip you off when I bleed
I'll rip you off when I bleed (When I bleed. When I bleed.)
