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
