Build a Ship Lyrics by Elena Erin

Holy Tender Artist

2021

[Verse 1]
My whole life
Is on the brink of an explosion
But he seems nice
So I stay here till the morning
On second thought
His bedside
Seems to suggest that I be going
{Pre-Chorus]
Now he's in the shower
While I'm looking for desert
Naked in a towel
Thinking I should leave him first
But I don't
I don't, I don't, I don't
I count down the hours
Till he's gotta go to work
I know that I should ask
But I'm scared it's gonna hurt
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
So I think I'm gonna
Build a ship
And sail away
If he asks me I might stay
But only for a couple days
I think that I like my space
No one to blame
How you gonna love a girl
Who hates the way you love her?
I hate the way you lovе me
[Post-Chorus]
Ooooh
Oooh
Ooooh
[Verse 2]
Springtime
The walk homе is always pouring
He said he had a nice night
But I've given up on hoping
[Pre-Chorus]
So I got some flowers
From the little corner shop
Put 'em in my room
Play he loves me
Loves me not
Oh fool
I know it's so uncool
But I need to tell me
Just in case that I forgot
I'm too damn special
And he don't deserve my heart
It's true
It's true, it's true, it's true
[Chorus]
So I think I'm gonna
Build a ship
And sail away
If he asks me I might stay
But only for a couple days
I think that I like my space
No one to blame
How you gonna love a girl
Who hates the way you love her?
I hate the way you love me
[Bridge]
I'm gonna build me a ship
Sail away
Forget all my lovers names
I'll be the one who loves me
I'm gonna build me a ship
Find my place
Get so strong I'll never break
And I'll be the one who loves me
[Chorus]
So I think I'm gonna
Build a ship
And sail away
If he asks me I might stay
But only for a couple days
I think that I like my space
No one to blame
How you gonna love a girl
Who hates the way you love her?
I hate the way you love me
