Give me your black lungs

And your blue eyes

And we'll trade them in for a new disguise

Give me your best bet

And your worst lie

And we'll fill them in with a straighter line

You could be everything I wanted

If you just gave up on holding back

And I've never lost so many words

From kissing just one girl

You've got potential


Wait for it

Wait for nights that compliment you

Ignore the girls that just resent you

It's easier to pretend you don't care at all

Now wait for it

Wait for boys that overwhelm you

And tell them that you're not that type of girl

And you would rather sit and talk about your goals


You give me black lungs

And your blue eyes

And we'll trade them in for a new disguise

Give me your best bet

And your worst lie

And we'll fill them in with a straighter line

You could be everything I wanted

If you just gave up on holding back

'Cause I never lost so many words

From kissing just one girl

You've got potential


Wait for it

Wait for nights that decimate you

Wake up and then pray for saving

Hope has never seemed so far away from you

Now wait for it

Wait for years to pass you by

You're looking back at all the times

You wish you hadn't compromised at all


Well I tried

Well I tried

Well I tried to make you see

That you lost reality somewhere

I tried


Give me your black lungs

And your blue eyes

And we'll trade them in for a new disguise

Give me your best bet

And your worst lie

And we'll fill them in with a straighter line

You could be everything I wanted

If you just gave up on holding back

And I've never lost so many words

From kissing just one girl

You've got potential
