lyrics

Her love stains like red wine
Can't get it out your mind
Even after its over
It was months ago
You did all that you could
They tell you "Give it time"
But it does no good

And you're sure her song has shipwrecked other men
But you can't blame her and you sure as hell don't blame them

Cause it's nothing til it's something
and you realize that it's out of your control
It's nothing til it's something
And all those pieces, they might never make a whole
They might just leave a hole

Looking in her eyes
You'd swear that they were mirrors
You see yourself clearer and you know she feels the same
But it's one way glass
It's always been her talent
Making men feel like they matter
and then taking it away

The feelings aren't as hard as they are heavy
When you realize you were never really ready

Cause its nothing til tis something
And you realize that it's out of your control
It's nothing til its something
and all those pieces, they might never make a whole
they might just leave a

Hold on to anything, there's a chariot in your chest
She's the belle of every ball
and now you think you got it all

But its nothing til tis something
And you realize that it's out of your control
It's nothing til its something
and all those pieces, they might never make a whole
they might just leave a
