Lyrics
Blue summer ribbons
Blue summer ribbons
Hidden by the clouds
Mama cant you hear me
Mama cant you see me
You don't seem to notice I'm around
Don't you want to hear about the life that I've been making
I think you should hear about the hearts that I've been breaking
I'm playing out your scenes and its your love that I am faking
Mama
Stars in the night sky
Stars in the night sky
Hidden by the moon
Cant you see I'm lonely
For the times you didn't hold me
Your gonna have to do it soon
I am slowly dying and you are growing old
I am tired of trying and my heart is getting cold
You are only fragments and I am far from whole
Mama
My tambourine eyes, are seeing your lies
and their playing them all away
You tried to steal them, I tried to heal them
And now it's eating me away
And every song is louder than the one I wrote before
Every door I open I find another door
And every time I think I've had enough you take some more
Mama
When are you gonna let me go
When are you gonna let me be me
Mama
When are you gonna set me free
Blue summer ribbons
Blue summer ribbons
Hidden by the clouds
Mama cant you hear me
Mama cant you see me
You don't seem to notice I'm around
Don't you want to hear about the life that I've been making
I think you should hear about the hearts that I've been breaking
I'm playing out your scenes and its your love that I am faking
Mama
