This Is Not What I Wanted Lyrics by Hanna Mel

Leave Me To Sleep EP

2017

[Verse 1]
All you wanted was to make us glow
But there were things we couldn’t figure out
We were cold, it was dark
And the people wouldn’t stop
Watching us as we fell to the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
But many, many years ago you made me a promise
Oh you made me a promise we would stay alive
Many, many years ago you made me a promise
Oh you made me a promise, well you killed it
[Chorus]
Now can you hear the sound of nothing?
Why don’t you dance to the sound of my heartbeat?
As we run, but we don’t, ‘cause we’re falling
You were wrong, this is not what I wanted
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh
This is not, this is not what I wanted
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh
This is not, this is not what I wanted
[Verse 2]
All we needed was a flame to burn us
It was pointless trying to get up again
We were weak, it was miles to the surface
And your voice were only noises in my ears
[Pre-Chorus]
But many, many years ago you gave me that feeling
Oh you gave me that feeling we would be alright
Many, many years ago you gave me that feeling
Oh you gave me that feeling, well you killed it
[Chorus]
Now can you hear the sound of nothing?
Why don’t you dance to the sound of my heartbeat?
As we run, but we don’t, ‘cause we’re falling
You were wrong, this is not what I wanted
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh
This is not, this is not what I wanted
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh
This is not, this is not what I wanted
[Bridge]
All we made up was the lies and the comfort in our brains
Wouldn’t have to take a whole lot of panicking to change
Into what we are, so I could have easily escaped
But you threw me down this well just to rot in my faith
And we never tried our best, and we never had a chance
‘Cause you never really cared, and I cared too much
Now there’s little we know about where we’ll go
[Chorus]
So can you hear the sound of nothing?
Why don’t you dance to the sound of my heartbeat?
As we run, but we don’t, ‘cause we’re falling
You were wrong, this is not what I wanted
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh
You were wrong, this is not what I wanted
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh
You were wrong, this is not what I wanted
