Black Thumbnail Lyrics
Kings of Leon
My cold, cold, sailor heart says get on your way
I ain't to proud to say but that's how I'm made
I'll be that person 'till my dying day
I try so awful hard, but I can't change
From runways to the road, I ramble alone
This thumbnail sized of a heart is black as coal
Your 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
Don't leave no smell on me
I know I'm picking up speed
Don't leave no smell on me
Those preppy boys in blue, that make fun of us
So we take it to the streets 'cause we want to be cussed
But we're not here to make your children bleed
We're here to come around with the tumbleweed
Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I know I'm picking up speed
Don't leave no smell on me, now get her, 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 'till my dying day
I try so awful hard, but I can't change
Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I know I'm picking up speed
Don't leave no smell on me, don't leave no
I ain't to proud to say but that's how I'm made
I'll be that person 'till my dying day
I try so awful hard, but I can't change
From runways to the road, I ramble alone
This thumbnail sized of a heart is black as coal
Your 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
Don't leave no smell on me
I know I'm picking up speed
Don't leave no smell on me
Those preppy boys in blue, that make fun of us
So we take it to the streets 'cause we want to be cussed
But we're not here to make your children bleed
We're here to come around with the tumbleweed
Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I know I'm picking up speed
Don't leave no smell on me, now get her, 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 'till my dying day
I try so awful hard, but I can't change
Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I know I'm picking up speed
Don't leave no smell on me, don't leave no
