lyrics

I thought I was stronger, now I know that I'm not
You tell me I'm a nice guy, I say “I hear that a lot”

But I'm a terrible person
Yeah I'm a terrible person
I'm a terrible person

I've been
Hiding it in secret under my skin
Cut it so I bleed out on your coat
I spent three years in sympathy
I'm not hard to find
I'm so sorry for everything
And you didn't mind

So I'll sit there
Yeah I'll sit there
Just sit there
Waiting on the world to end
Waiting on the world to end
Waiting on the world
Waiting on the world to end

//

I remember saying
On the night that we met
That if there’s better days than ours
They’re hours I haven’t counted yet

Soon you found your way to me
On waves to forget
I told you everything I know
You wore a little green dress

Then you took my arm around
And you could feel it too
You made me laugh, I was a child
You made me fall, I was a fool

Now I find it hard to look at you
When we’re in the same room
I’m blinded by the smile you’re wearin’
Starin’s all I can do

And Charlotte I do love you
It’s a bitter romance
Cause Charlotte I would hurt you
If you gave me the chance

Talking’s taking time
My sorry stutters sound the same
But every song I ever wrote
Was sang and written in your name

Cause looking at you now
A thousand days at once appear
A thousand love stories to tell you
Stunting speech and fronting fear

More and more we learn to talk
We walk, we set our stone
There is no life, since you’ve stolen mine
As you took my heart and home

This won’t be a movie
It’ll ring and reign true
I won’t pretend I know the end
But I’ll make plans to say I do

And Charlotte I do love you
It’s a bitter romance
Cause Charlotte I would hurt you
If you gave me the chance

That’s not something I aim to
But I’d ask you to leave
Cause when you see yourself how I do
You’ll do better
Than me

Late in the night
When you’re hard to find
I’ll promise you upon your forehead
How it’s gonna be fine

And if your bones should go
And no spirits out last
I’ll marry you in every corner
As I carry you to ash

Cause Charlotte I do love you
It’s a bitter romance
Cause Charlotte I would hurt you
If you gave me the chance

That’s not something I’d aim to do
But I’d ask you to leave
Cause when you see yourself how I do
You’ll do better
Than me

("Favourite Clothing (Redux)" outro)
