Springtime Red Tulips lyrics

[Verse 1]
She was raised in a house full of bruises
Stained with whiskey and blood
Her lips were colored like springtime red tulips
And her eyes were colored like mud, colored like mud
She ran away when she was thirteen
Her mother followed so they could stop bleeding
The daughter's father passed two years thereafter
Her mother said, "You're alright with me"

[Chorus]
Oh, honey, you're okay, breathe
Honey, you're alright, right here with me
Honey, you're okay, breathe
Honey, you're alright, right here with me

[Verse 2]
The two spent their time there laughing and singing
'Til winter struck everything still
The daughter fell broke and her mother fell ill
And now she's singing with the whip-poor-wills, the whip-poor-wills
And I saw her dancing her face to the ground
Her eyes, the color of honey brown
And I fell in love by the second a tear shed
Her lips of springtime tulip red, and I said
[Chorus]
Honey, you're okay, breathe
Honey, you're alright, right here with me
Honey, you're okay, breathe
Honey, you're alright, right here with me (Yeah)

[Bridge]
I'm sorry if I'm mean
That's just my father in me
I hate to be cruel
But, I was raised on blood, whiskey, and fools
My eyes are bloodshot
Words hurt more than I once thought
And high hopes are cut down
How can I breathe when you're not around?
And these roads are hallowed
I can't go back to my hometown
And my heart is swallowed
I guess that you are my home now

[Outro]
Oh, honey, you're okay, breathe
Honey, you're alright, right here with me
Oh, honey, you're okay, breathe
Honey, you're alright, right here with me
Right here with me, just breathe
