"White Ribbons" lyrics

"White Ribbons"

It's so pretty how you mend yourself
Never mind the hands you were dealt
'Cause I know they never helped
And that's all on me, 'cause I didn't treat you kindly
Left you with nothing left to bleed
Left you with nothing left to be

White ribbons wrapped around me
Soft pink flesh that hugs me tightly
It's so pretty how you fix me every time

Broken down once or twice
Jump start to save your life
But I know the road home had its decline
Pushing against the wind
And the bones are rattling
And the rain feels like waves crashing in

It's so pretty how you mend yourself
Never mind the hands you were dealt
'Cause I know they never helped

White ribbons wrapped around me
Soft pink flesh that hugs me tightly
It's so pretty how you fix me every time

Broken down once or twice
Jump start to save your life
I promise to take care till the end
'Cause there were times
When you were my only friend

It's so pretty how you mend yourself
Never mind the hands you were dealt
'Cause I know they never helped
White ribbons wrapped around me
Soft pink flesh that hugs me tightly
It's so pretty how you fix me every time
White ribbons wrapped around me
Soft pink flesh that hugs me tightly
It's so pretty how you fix me every time
Every time
Every time
Every time
