You smelled like palm trees and cigarettes
You were the tangerine sky after a wildfire
You were a lost thing inside my chest
Loosenin' my screws and crossin' all my wires

How many ways did I say, "I love you"?
Did I say, "I love you"?
But you just couldn't give it back
How many days 'til the sky was falling?
'Cause I kept on stalling
I knew I'd have to give you back

You were a Hollywood daydream
My beautiful sad thing
Oh, so blue, baby blue, yeah
You were torn like your ripped jeans
A bird with a bad wing
Oh, so blue, baby blue, baby

You wеre the stranger I knеw the best
With those angel eyes, you were a wild liar
I was the savior you never asked for, but I tried
And I would until I died, oh

How many ways did I say, "I love you"?
Did I say, "I love you"?
But you just couldn't give it back

You were a Hollywood daydream
My beautiful sad thing
Oh, so blue, baby blue, yeah
You were torn like your ripped jeans
A bird with a bad wing
Oh, so blue, baby blue, baby

You were cold like a winter sky
You're so blue, baby blue, yeah
You were rare like the northern lights
I wonder, was it true, was it true? Yeah

You were a Hollywood daydream
My beautiful sad thing
Oh, so blue, baby blue, yeah
You were torn like your ripped jeans
A bird with a bad wing
Oh, so blue, baby blue, baby
