You’re No God Lyrics by Laura Marling

Alas, I Cannot Swim

2008

[Verse 1]
Your mum thinks you're sad that you're living alone
And your friends think if you're sad, you should call them more
But the truth is that you never needed someone to comfort you
Oh, you've never needed someone to comfort you

[Refrain]
But you're no God
You're no God

[Verse 2]
And you will never leave this place
And you will always feel alone
And you will never feel quite clean
In this new skin that you have grown
Until your old and broken bones
Are laid into their resting place
Just like the rest of human race
Till I fall into my place
Just like the rest of human race
Till I'm laid into my final resting place
Just like the rest of human race who've done it
Without complaining all the way

[Refrain]
But you're no God
You're no God
As long as you promise that you will never leave
I need only worry about you and me

[Verse 3]
We will never leave this place
We need never feel alone
We will learn to feel quite clean
In this new skin that we have grown
Because our young and healthy bones
Would never lead us astray
We will learn to feel quite clean in this new skin that we have
We will learn to feel quite clean in this new skin that we have
We will learn to feel quite clean in this new skin that we have grown
Because our young and healthy bones
Would never lead us astray
