Lyrics
Tatum
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Broken hearts and vagabonds
And troubled souls they turn me on
What has gotten into me
I’m criticised for everything
I sit around and do nothing
What has ever happened to me
Years ago I met a girl
I could not let her go
So I sat here on my couch
And I waited for her to show
People say I’m crazy for spending so much time indoors
It’s okay I get by just a little at a time
It doesn’t really seem to be the same anymore with you Shalalalalalala
Everything’s the same you’re just the one who’s changed
Everyone but you – it’s true
I cannot see it in your eyes
I guess it’s cause when I was young
I never learned how to run
I never learned how to be
I’m not bad and I’m not great
But liars are full of hate
I guess it’s just because they can
I remember clear that night
When you were on demand
All alone and candlelight
You were my best friend
It didn’t really have to go this way
You’re the one who choosed Shalalalalalala
It’s such a shame that you got your way
Messed it up for sure – you fool
I just don’t believe you anymore
I’ve broken and bounded
Sent a message to my friends
The trail I’m at I’m back again
Back from way back when
It doesn’t really seem to be the same anymore with you Shalalalalalala
It’s such a shame that you got your way
Messin’ up for sure – you fool
I cannot see it in your eyes
