Kings of Leon - Black Thumbnail lyrics

rate me

My cold, cold, sailor heart says get on your way

I aint to proud to say but thats how I'm made.

I'll be that person 'til my dying day

I've tried so awful hard, but I can't change.

From runways to the road, I ramble alone

This thumbnail size of a heart is black as cole

Though beauty, it still brings me to my knees

Don't waste a tear on me, it's my disease

Don't leave no smell on me ey

Don't leave no smell on me ey

I'll go off in your sleep

Don't leave no smell on me ey

Those preppy boys in blue

They're makin fun of us

So we take it to the streets

Cuz were an ornery cuss

Ahh we're not here to make your children bleed

We're here to come around with the tumble weed

Don't leave no smell on me ey

Don't leave no smell on me ey

I'll go off in your sleep

Don't leave no smell on me ey

Now guitar, go get her!

Don't take these boots off me when you're thinking I'm dead

I'll still be running from the demon in my head

I'll be that person 'til my dying day

I tried so hard for her, but I can't change

Don't leave no smell on me ey

Don't leave no smell on me ey

I'll go off in your sleep

Don't leave no smell on me

Don't need no...left behind
