Expensive Strawberry Jams feat. Stephie Luné by Jainil Devani Lyrics
These scars, look so beautiful, so ravishing
Silver ichor oozing out slowly on my skin
Running down the pavement in perpetual white lines
Eyes go wide, turning green, glimmering dollar signs
Put my pretty make up on, your silhouette whispers back
Calculate every step before you pounce to attack
My love is frozen, locked inside your birdcage
Flashing cameras, you & me on the front page
Paint out the Hollywood scene
Your lies, my American Dream
Oh, Expensive Strawberry Jams, you hold me
“Love’s a religion, you’re my god,” you told me
You did it all for the sound bites, baby
But you’re a pawn in my own chess story
Oh, Diamonds & Gold guitar strings to bleed in
Chandeliers, wine, a million craftsmen
But half the country’s blind and mistaken
And the other half will have their hearts broken
The pain you inflict on my substantial being
Makes me terrified of the thought of you leaving
Become so used to this breaking & then healing
There’s no-one else I’d rather break for, anymore
Yet you’re speechless every time she looks at you
There’s a thunderbolt going through her every move
Flowing gown, like there’s flowers all around
Tears of emerald green, I hit the ground
Oh, Expensive Strawberry Jams, you hold me
“Love, heaven’s in your arms” you told me
You did it all for the sound bites, baby
You’re just a pawn in my own chess story
Oh, All the Nightmares, silk covers we sleep in
She’s the only thing keeping me awake when
Half the country’s blind and mistaken
And the other half will have their hearts broken
Broken, Hearts broken
Mistaken, Blind and mistaken
Expensive Colour Called Blood, you used mine
A painting, masterpiece, “Love” you called it
Here’s my reply in words, Listen
You’ll never love me again
You’ll be surprised what people can live with
Silver ichor oozing out slowly on my skin
Running down the pavement in perpetual white lines
Eyes go wide, turning green, glimmering dollar signs
Put my pretty make up on, your silhouette whispers back
Calculate every step before you pounce to attack
My love is frozen, locked inside your birdcage
Flashing cameras, you & me on the front page
Paint out the Hollywood scene
Your lies, my American Dream
Oh, Expensive Strawberry Jams, you hold me
“Love’s a religion, you’re my god,” you told me
You did it all for the sound bites, baby
But you’re a pawn in my own chess story
Oh, Diamonds & Gold guitar strings to bleed in
Chandeliers, wine, a million craftsmen
But half the country’s blind and mistaken
And the other half will have their hearts broken
The pain you inflict on my substantial being
Makes me terrified of the thought of you leaving
Become so used to this breaking & then healing
There’s no-one else I’d rather break for, anymore
Yet you’re speechless every time she looks at you
There’s a thunderbolt going through her every move
Flowing gown, like there’s flowers all around
Tears of emerald green, I hit the ground
Oh, Expensive Strawberry Jams, you hold me

You’re just a pawn in my own chess story
Oh, All the Nightmares, silk covers we sleep in

Half the country’s blind and mistaken
And the other half will have their hearts broken
Broken, Hearts broken

You’ll be surprised what people can live with
