Lyrics

Rory

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.

I wrote you a letter, asked your best friend to send it

But took to the sea before you could have read it

Retreated to snowcapped waters of the unknown

Extracted my heart while it was still beating

But glowing and red

And I swear that sweat would envelop your arms

If you broke down and held it

I swear I'm a good man

I swear I'm a good man

So why don't you love me back?

So why don't you love me back?

Instead of twisting up words you just sat there in silence

In wind burnt homes sighing rays from a sunset

And all I could hear was the sound of the wasp nest

My head made a home for the hum of the insects

But my hands shake and shudder at the mention

Of half written reasons why we'll only be friends

I swear I'm a good man

I swear I'm a good man

So why don't you love me back?

So why don't you love me back?

So why don't you love me back?

So why don't you love me back?

So why don't you love me back?

So why don't you love me back?
