Lyrics

    She reminds me of
    the one in school
    when I was cutting
    she was dressed in white
    and I couldn't take my eyes off her
    but that's not what I took off that night
    And she'll never cover up
    what we did
    with a dress
    no
    she said
    "kiss me, it will heal
    but it won't forget.
    kiss me, it will heal
    but it won't forget."
    And I don't mind you
    keeping me
    on pins and needles.
    If I could stick to you
    and you could
    stick me too.
    Don't break, don't break 
    my heart
    and I won't break your
    heart-shaped glasses
    Little girl, little girl
    you should close your eyes
    That blue is getting me high
    making me low
    That blue is getting me high
    making me low
    That blue is getting me high
    making me low
    She reminds of
    the one I knew
    that cut up the negatives
    of my life
    I couldn't take my hands off her
    she wouldn't let me be
    anywhere but inside
    And I don't mind you
    keeping me
    on pins and needles.
    If I could stick to you
    and you could
    stick me too.
    Just
    don't break, don't break 
    my heart
    and I won't break your
    heart-shaped glasses
    Little girl, little girl
    you should close your eyes
    That blue is getting me high
    making me low
    And she'll never cover up
    what we did
    with a dress
    no
    she said
    "kiss me, it will heal
    but it won't forget.
    kiss me, it will heal
    but it won't forget."
    And I don't mind you
    keeping me
    on pins and needles.
    If I could stick to you
    and you could
    stick me too.
    Don't break, don't break 
    my heart
    and I won't break your
    heart-shaped glasses
    Little girl, little girl
    you should close your eyes
    That blue is getting me high
    making me low
