Lyrics
It was a crush

I fell on the ground

My head was crushed

As I laid down

There was blood everywhere

Asking for help

But no one else
Feeling abandoned or isolated, with a lack of help from others.

Your eyes were blue

The night before

I took your hand

And you point gun at me

Your eyes were blue
Recalling a moment of connection, emphasizing the impact of the gaze.
The night before
Continuation of the narrative from the previous night.

And I saw behind your back
Discovering something hidden or unexpected.
