"Opalite"

I had a bad habit of missing lovers past

My brother used to call it, "Eating out of the trash"

It's never gonna last

I thought my house was haunted, I used to live with ghosts

And all the perfect couples said, "When you know, you know"

And, "When you don't, you don't"

And all of the foes, and all of the friends (Ha, ha)

They've seen it before, they'll see it again (Ha, ha)

Life is a song, it ends when it ends

I was wrong

But my mama told me

It's alright

You were dancing through the lightning strikes

Sleepless in the onyx night

But now the sky is opalite

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, my Lord

Never met no one likе you before

You had to make your own sunshinе

But now the sky is opalite

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You couldn't understand it, why you felt alone

You were in it for real, she was in her phone

And you were just a pose

And don't we try to love love? (Love love)

We give it all we got (Give it all we got)

You finally left the table (Uh-uh), and what a simple thought

You're starving 'til you're not

And all of the foes and all of the friends (Ha, ha)

Have messed up before, they'll mess up again (Ha, ha)

Life is a song, it ends when it ends

You move on

And that's when I told you

It's alright

You were dancing through the lightning strikes

Sleepless in the onyx night

But now the sky is opalite

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, my Lord

Never met no one like you before

You had to make your own sunshine

But now the sky is opalite

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

This is just a storm inside a teacup

But shelter here with me, my love

Thunder like a drum

This life will beat you up, up, up, up

This is just a temporary speed bump

But failure brings you freedom

And I can bring you love, love, love, love, love

Don't you sweat it, baby

It's alright

You were dancing through the lightning strikes

Oh, so sleepless in the onyx night

But now the sky is opalite

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, my Lord

Never met no one like you before (No)

You had to make your own sunshine

But now the sky is opalite

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
