Bandage - I Hate This Place

She flew from a small town

With her big dreams

Of the bright lights

In the city

She crash-landed

In the neon sea at low tide

And he was a nice guy

Though he tried

Lived his whole life

On the beside

Yeah the playback

Never seemed right

'Til she found him

She said

Hey there

I don't think I can manage

My wings might be broken

Could you be my bandage here

Only you see

All my scars are showing

Darling I can't stand this

Could you be my bandage here

'Cause I'd fake all

That the world takes

And I'd take all

That the world fakes

For just one chance

To be more than

Something faded

But to live more

Than life could give

Had to give more so I could live

In the spot light

I grew dark and drawn and jaded

You said

Hey there

I know that you are hurting

Darling don't you panic

I can be your bandage here

And I don't care

If all your scars are showing

We're all a little damaged

I could be your bandage here

If all my scars were showing

My heart can't keep on holding

Holding on to what is so fast

Never knowing if it would last

If it'd mean our lights were fading

Would you be the one who's saving

Saving me

In the darkness

In the sad phones

He plays so loud

'Cause he's alone

Trying to drown out

The set ending for a love song

Watch his demons

Dance around him

Got the beat now

That they've found them

He couldn't heal her

It'd just hurt more than it sounded

He said

Hey there

Can we talk this over

It's not the way I planned it

You were just my bandage here

Only you see

These scars don't get better

You don't understand this

You were just my bandage here

My bandage

She flew from a small town

With her big dreams

Of the bright lights

In the city

Oooh-oh-oh
