Tyrant Destroyed Lyrics by Twin Shadow

Forget

2010

[Verse 1]
I know you spent some time from the town to the city
Looking for a life to start
And when you were fifteen, I know what you said
"I'll never let another black boy break my heart"

[Verse 2]
You waited a decade for me to come find you
There's never been a chance so rare
I was just stumbling out on a prosthetic love
And there had never been someone so real

[Chorus]
This was love, and I was such a tyrant destroyer
As you sat sinking in my hands
Love, and I was such a tyrant destroyer
As you sat sinking in my hands

[Verse 3]
As if it wasn't enough just to hear you speak
They had to give you lips like that
Like all of your sadness reduced to a color
Then painted upon you, how could I forget you?

[Verse 4]
And who was I to think that on a Saturday night
That you would really bike home alone?
And the way that I left you just hanging on Sundays
Any fair-skin boy could take you home

[Chorus]
This was love, and I was such a tyrant destroyer
As you sat sinking in my hands
Love, and I was such a tyrant destroyer
As you sat sinking in my hands
Love, and I was such a tyrant destroyer
As you sat sinking in my hands
Love, and I was such a tyrant destroyer
As you sat sinking in my hands
