Melanie Martinez Blue Knees

Just 'cause I bought a Band-Aid

Doesn't mean I'm able to clean the scars that run

Deeper than all my old demons

I keep under still water

 

Just 'cause you give me flowers

Doesn't cover up the smell of the dead body

Or raise the dead body

Of a girl who got shut down

 

Just 'cause you crack the window

Doesn't mean I'm able to

Clear the air that my heart breathed

Before you came around here

 

Just 'cause you say you love me

Doesn't mean that I'm

Gonna look you in the eyes

Pretend to be surprised

And say "I love you" back

(Love you back)

 

Cause I'm tripping, 'trippin on rocks

Cuttin' on my ankles where

I know the blood stops

Blue Blue Knees

Fallin' for the next man who breathes

 

I need a band-aid recovery

Don't get too close 'cause

You're really nothing to me

You're just a Band-Aid on my knees

You're just a band-aid recovery

I'll rip you off when I bleed

I'll rip you off when I bleed

 

Just 'cause I'm coming over

Doesn't mean I'll be there

When you wake up

'Cause coming over doesn't

Mean that I'm over him

 

Just 'cause you are my band-aid

Doesn't mean I want you to stick around

Cause rebounds get washed away

The next time it rains

 

Cause I'm tripping, 'trippin on rocks

Cuttin' on my ankles where

I know the blood stops

Blue Blue Knees

Fallin' for the next man who breathes

 

I need a band-aid recovery

Don't get too close 'cause

You're really nothing to me

You're just a Band-Aid on my knees

You're just a band-aid recovery

I'll rip you off when I bleed

I'll rip you off when I bleed
