Sad News In A Quiet Room by Keyes Lyrics

To be famous like the stars
Swallow blood and drink up alcohol
Your mind is wrapped on anything but her

Hold your stars
I see them through the evergreen

I’ve never seen a smile quite like yours

But your heart

Is better off in Hollywood
And someday you’ll be mine
If you swear with drunken eyes
When everyone is bitter
She won’t be coming back for more
Cause you’re mine

So slow down

Stumble over solid ground
Tuck your belly to your feet
Or you will topple off the tree
It’s moving so fast that I can’t even breathe
When red water touches concrete
I’m so sad
When my eyes’ve grown tired
Cause no night can’t survive with just a flashlight of hope
When all I said was bitter

And words won’t bring her back for more

All we do is touch

I don’t think of you enough
When you say that you’ll be gone

I don’t want to be your love

So I tell the thoughts to whisper
If the words come leaking out
Oh my mind just seems to saunter
At the thought of crashing clouds

But I swear I found my home in the shadows and the blood
Just to break apart my body and be washed out by the sun

And I don’t believe in sad news but you’re making me see it
Every bone my brain contracts in my body can't react to your love

But your heart was better off in Hollywood
Where you’ll nurse all the stars
I’m sick of this place
But I’m also scared for things to change
Where stars will fall off your walls

I'm sick of this place
But I'm also scared for things to change
