scarlet

scarlet keeps me busy,
I hate that I wish that you'd miss me...

I know you hate when I cry,
but I - can't lie, so I
tell myself to count 'one, two, three'
look up at the ceiling
don't cry, don't feel -
think I'm a fool,
that's why you cut me in two.

one, two, three times
next time I promise I'll be alright
even if I can only lose,
I gotta get used
to scarlet red blood - down in the mudd,
right next to your shoes.

scarlet isn't easy,
I hate that I hate when you leave me...

one, two...
think there's nothing I can do -
I just wish you'd count on me,
so I could count on you.

restore my heart when it breaks -
pick up the pieces from the floor

one, two, three... four?

damn! - I can't believe,
I lost count of it once more.
