[Verse 1]
You paint me the sky dark blue
And then leave me, I'm waiting for you, yeah
Come back with the stars in the right place
I fear, you’re gone

Throw me in the deepest ocean
And watch me how I’m drowning again
My heavy heart keeps pounding, vibrating
I’m causing waves on the surface

[Pre–Chorus]
And I keep moving in circles
I lost track of time
Darling, I keep sinking further
With an echo in my mind, saying

[Chorus]
In another life I, I knew that
I, I was just a little white lie
In another life
My little lionheart knew when to cover up from here
Next time I’m bulletproof, my dear
No, never again will you get in my lionheart

[Verse 2]
You kiss me and then throw me off the edge
Will you miss me when I’m floating in position?
In this life I’m the ghost that will haunt you
Will you drown in self-pity?
And I hope, when you see me taken
It breaks you like the girl that you left
And if this is how the story ends
Well, I guess, I wish you well

[Pre–Chorus]
And I keep moving in circles
I lost track of time
Darling, I keep sinking further
With an echo in my mind, saying

[Chorus]
In another life I, I knew that I
I was just a little white lie
In another life my little lionheart
Knew when to cover up from here
Next time I’m bulletproof, my dear
No, never again will you get in my lionheart

[Bridge]
Calm down, don’t you think of me
Calm down, don’t you look at me
Calm down, don’t you talk to me
Calm down, don’t you, calm down, won’t you?

[Outro]
How could you paint me the sky dark blue
And then leave me?
