## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

I look up to the ceiling all the time

Telling myself the same stupid lie

That when the day comes that I die

Nobody in front of the tomb would cry

There's this dream that where all my allies

Stabbed me and threw me down the fires

And once they extinguished my last light

They'd take everything that's left to my side

**[Pre-chorus]**

Oh, woah, oh

Honey, when you leave, remind me please

Woah, oh, woah

So I can get ready for our very final kiss

**[Chorus]**

It's okay to kick me out in the middle of the new moon

If you're tired of all of this, tell me so I would be leaving soon

My days stay at blackberry winter, meanwhile, you're at June

Least I can do is to hug you before I vanish on the dune

**[Post-chorus]**

Oh, oh, oh

Woah, woah, woah

**[Verse 2]**

I'm already used to always being by myself

Scream at me all night and I won't go deaf

Just tryna see your emotions that you withheld

Hid it since you knew I shouldn't be trusted

Getting my shit all over you now

So when the day comes we break the vow

You can walk away with all the same doubts

From the things they said about me, I knew it, and had it allowed

**[Pre-chorus]**

Oh, oh, oh

Honey, when you go, remind me the songs we wrote

Woah, oh, woah

So I'll still remember how you saved me from the cold

**[Chorus]**

It's okay to kick me out in the middle of the new moon

If you're tired of all of this, tell me so I would be leaving soon

My days stay at blackberry winter, meanwhile, you're at June

Least I can do is to hug you before I vanish on the dune

**[Post-chorus]**

Oh, oh, oh

Woah, woah, woah

**[Instrumental Break]**

**[Bridge]**

My life stays meaningless

My lungs go breathless

Everyone who was on my side

Went away into shades darker than night

My thoughts go painful as broken glass

My friends make me feel like an outcast

I really want to get you alone

Even for nothing at all

My heart stops pounding

My eyes comes prying

To the point I don't even hear inquires anymore

Because they left all lone at the door

Don't worry about me, I'll be fine

It's nothing but a curve in a line

**[Verse 3]**

I've been used to be called as the villain

I've ruined lots of lives so I deserve it

They'd pick me up and throw me to the river

But you'd be left out watching me suffer

**[Chorus]**

It's okay to kick me out in the middle of the new moon

If you're tired of all of this, tell me so I would be leaving soon

My days stay at blackberry winter, meanwhile, you're at June

Least I can do is to hug you before I vanish on the dune

**[Outro]**

(Oh, oh, oh)

(Woah, woah, woah)

I'll vanish on the dune

Vanish on the dune

My life will remain in the gloom

I'll vanish on the dune

Vanish on the dune

My life is a dead flower that'll never bloom

(Oh, oh, oh)

(Woah, woah, woah)
