Love Don’t Live Here Lyrics by Bastille

Other People’s Heartache

2012

[Intro]
You abandoned me, love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy, love don't live here anymore
[Verse 1]
When you lived inside of me
There was nothing I could conceive that you wouldn't do for me
Trouble seemed so far away
You changed that right away, baby
[Chorus]
You abandoned me, love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy, love don't live here anymore
[Verse 2]
Love don't live here anymore
Just emptiness and memories of what we had before
Ah, before you went away
Found another place to stay, another home
[Chorus]
You abandoned me, love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy, love don't live here anymore
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
In the windmill of my eyes
Everyone can see the loneliness inside of me
Why'd you have to go away?
Don't you know I miss you so and need your love?
[Chorus]
You abandoned me, love don't live here anymore
Just a vacancy, love don't live here anymore
[Chorus]
You abandoned me, love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here
And if you break my heart, then blood's gonna spill here
Just a vacancy, love don't live here anymore
I said, love don't live here
And if you break my heart, then blood's gonna spill here
[Verse 4]
Daddy was a preacher, Mama had the features of an angel
Born in Oklahoma to an Anglo whose Anglo
Was pimping like a Klango in the cutlass backseat window
I do this for my kid folk
Who saw Katrina hit and said, BBut goddamn it, have we been broke
Scribes for the king and please send my pleasantries to the local peasantries
But although we live in hell, we can still dream heavily"
(Don't live here, don't live here anymore)
Scholar's a felon, ain't no telling, fella!
He told me I wasn't shit, I had to show him better
Poetic like a letter from my mistress who after my performance in Paris 12 district
Wrote in broken English in a match book
"You are terrific and your style was godly amazing!"
Signed with pink-stained lips and a chocolate she was saving
And that note, I kept, it wept
On the metro station steps, not giving a fuck about who saw me
For my bravery just applaud me, but love don't live here
And if you break my heart, then blood's gonna spill here
[Chorus]
You abandoned me, love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here
And if you break my heart, then blood's gonna spill here
Just a vacancy, love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here
And if you break my heart, then blood's gonna spill here
[Bridge]
Oh, I'll see you in the future
When we're old and when we're full of stories to be told
Cross my heart and hope to die
See you with your laughter lines
I'll see you there
[Chorus]
You abandoned me, love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here
And if you break my heart, then blood's gonna spill here
Just a vacancy, love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here
And if you break my heart, then blood's gonna spill here
[Outro]
I'll see you in the future when we're older
And we are full of stories to be told
Cross my heart and hope to die
I'll see you with your laughter lines
