Laika - A Love Song

Copied!

I don't understand why you make me so sad
Once a upon a time you were all I have ever had
And I don't really get why you cut me like that
My words stutter out, why'm I speaking so fast?
I just wanna feel like the smoke in your lungs
'Cause it ignites you like nobody else does
I just wanna reach out my hand your face
But you said you can't deal with a basket case like me

But if you want me to change, I'll sing this a different way
I'll make this one a love song, not another one you'll hate

Bad blood but your heart keeps pumping
Have love for who you're becoming
Sad but you can't let go of the past
My heart was yours for the taking
Loved you but kept on breaking
Why's none of this ever built to last?

I often wonder if you can see right through me
But sometimes I feel like you can't see anything
So do you still think that I was meant for you?
I'm not like all the other girls that you're used to
I used to be proud just to call you mine
I look at you sometimes and I don't like what I find
Sometimes I wish that I could more for you
I wanna be gold but you always paint me blue
But if you want me to change, I'll sing this a different way
I'll make this one a love song, not another one you'll hate

Bad blood but your heart keeps pumping
Have love for who you're becoming
Sad but you can't let go of the past
My heart was yours for the taking
Loved you but kept on breaking
Why's none of this ever built to last?

You asked me to love you like I have no other
This type of love, it always leaves me feeling smothered

Bad blood but your heart keeps pumping
Have love for who you're becoming
Sad but you can't let go of the past
My heart was yours for the taking
Loved you but kept on breaking
Why's none of this ever built to last?
