July from OK, BELOVEDS by Team Bright

July

I scribbled a picture and figured it’s you
I colored him in with cornflower blue
I dreamed up a feeling and titled it “you”
you said that was love and I thought it was too

Here’s some free advice for people like you:
Don’t fill in the details unless they are true
Don’t tell me your dreams unless they come true
You know what? Don’t tell me your dreams even if they come true

I started pulling at the seams of you
thread after thread after thread, there were reams of you
we have to pass through the needle eye
if we want to make it to the other side

What about July? What about July?
Don’t me you’ve lied! Don’t tell me you’ve lied

Hello my name is confused what are you?
I’m feeling terribly used how about you?
you filled your day up with my feelings. (Did you though?)
you filled your day up with my feelings. (Ok, it’s true)

I can promise, I can’t promise
I can’t promise, I can promise
Oh God, you lied
