She reminds me of the one in school When I was gutted, she was dressed in white And I couldn't take my eyes off her But that's not what I took off that night She'll never cover up what we did with her dress No She said, "Kiss me, it'll heal but it won't forget." "Kiss me, it'll heal but it won't forget." I don't mind you keeping me on pins and needles If I could stick to you and you stick me, too Don't break, don't break my heart And I won't break your heart shaped glasses Little girl, little girl, you should close your eyes That blue is getting me high Don't break, don't break my heart And I won't break your heart shaped glasses Little girl, little girl, you should close your eyes That blue is getting me high, making me low That blue is getting me high, making me low She reminds me of the one I knew that cut up the negatives of my life I couldn't take my hands off her; she wouldn't let me be anywhere but inside And I don't mind you keeping me on pins and needles If I could stick to you and you stick me, too Just don't break, don't break my heart And I won't break your heart shaped glasses Little girl, little girl, you should close your eyes That blue is getting me high Don't break, don't break my heart And I won't break your heart shaped glasses Little girl, little girl, you should close your eyes That blue is getting me high, making me low She'll never cover up what we did with her dress No She said, "Kiss me, it'll heal but it won't forget." "Kiss me, it'll heal but it won't forget." I don't mind you keeping me on pins and needles If I could stick to you and you could stick me, too Don't break, don't break my heart And I won't break your heart shaped glasses Little girl, little girl, you should close your eyes That blue is getting me high Don't break, don't break my heart And I won't break your heart shaped glasses Little girl, little girl, you should close your eyes That blue is getting me high, making me low
