The Longer I Leave It Lyrics by Declan Bennett

Record:Breakup

0

It was all so sure it was written in the trees, it was a classic example of fine art
You could've pierced our intentions of love with the end of an excellently mancrafted dart
By definition there is always precision to deftly defy cupid's beat
Cause (?) we'll fly through a naked bullseye (?) just to prove (?)
I have to say something today, though I'm trying to fight it
So look at me
But don't smile 'cause see
You're not gonna like it
The sick internal feelings swimming against the rhythms in my chest
Push my thoughts back to their beds to think better of themselves, well maybe it's best
It just gets harder and I need to relax a bit
'cause I'll only get weaker
And I'd still feel shit the longer I leave it
It's gonna be you or me
Who decides that they're leaving
So what you gonna do when that person's you
You'll end up feeling the same as I do
These sick internal feelings swimming against the rhythms in my chest
Push my thoughts back to their beds to think better of themselves, well maybe it's best, cause it'd just get harder, and I need to relax a bit
'cause I'll only get weaker
And I'd still feel shit the longer I leave it
Cause it'd just get harder, and I need to relax a bit
Cause I'll only get weaker
And I'd still feel shit the longer I leave it
The truth matters more than who's wrong or who's right
And if last night was a mistake
Only we can place bets on how we will survive
When we've run all we can and stopped trying to hide
Maybe one day when we've gone away
We'll wish one of us had the balls to stay
'Cause if you can't face the music the least you can do is try and face me instead of staring back at you
Relax a bit
'cause I'll only get weaker
And I'd still feel shit the longer I leave it
Cause it'd just get harder, and I need to relax a bit
Cause I'll only get weaker
And I'd still feel shit the longer I leave it
