"Alex" lyrics - SHANE SMITH & THE SAINTS

The hard times blow in three so it seems
At least that's the way this year has seemed to toll
And I've been handed things that others sweat and bleed for
I'm undeserving, I'm on a pedestal

I wish I knew you back before you had to leave
You know I, I wish I had truly felt your light
And I've been blessed in ways that almost sickens my mind
I wish you could run this right, you deserve my life

And Lord I wonder why it had to be her you now
To me it seemed to early to be right
The brightest colors of the sky they dance at dawn
But soon enough they're gonna fade to night
They always fade to night

I wish I knew you back before you had to leave
You know I, I wish I had truly felt your light
And I've been blessed in ways that almost sickens my mind
I wish you could run this right, you deserve my life

And all the seasons seem to blow in all the change
It's like the leaves, they make their colors then they fall
This October came with more than just a breeze
It's like she made her change and blew above us all
She blew above us all

I wish I knew her back before she had to leave
You know I, I wish I had truly felt her light
And I've been blessed in ways that almost sickens my mind
I wish you could run this right, you deserve this

I wish I knew you back before you had to leave
You know I, I wish I had truly felt your light
And I've been blessed in ways that almost sickens my mind
I wish you could run this right, you deserve my life
