I've Always Been A Coward, Baby
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.
It's a lovely day,
Watch us fade away,
Open our lies and say "I love you,"
If you see me around,
Look towards the ground
Never make the sound "I love you."
I never wanted to,
I had no choice I had to,
Would I lie to you when I lie with you?
I thought I was strong
I guess I was wrong,
It's been too long
It's time I was gone.
It's easy looking in your eyes
To tell you nothing but lies,
I've been faking this for hours...
CHORUS
But then I've always been a coward, baby,
I'm nothing but a coward, baby,
It's a lovely day,
Watch us fade away,
Open our lies and say " love you,"
If you see me around,
Look towards the ground,
Never make the sound "I love you."
I always wanted to leave a choice for you,
Why lie with you when I can lie to you?
Can't take it any longer,
Getting weaker not stronger,
Switch to self destruct
'Cos that don't take any guts...
It's easy looking in your eyes
To tell you nothing but lies,
I've been faking this for hours...
CHORUS
Slap the face of a coward, baby,
Kiss the face of a coward, baby.
