Undertow
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.
Silly me, look what I did again
I found what I want, is what I cannot have
I didn't mean to be so predictable
But I blame it all on who made you irresistable
And it isn't something I need
Till you tell me I can't
Why wear my heart on my sleeve
When it looks so good in your hands
(Chorus)
My heart breaks, in a heartbeat
And your stormy when you come and go
Taste of, something, so sweet
Should have, warned me
'Bout the undertow, Nooo
I coudn't find a better man to let me go
Little girl, I don't know why you stay
If i had a feather for everytime Daddy said that
I could fly away
Old habbits, are so hard to break
It'd be a shame to stop now that I started to make really good mistakes
I don't know why I must ask, for the forbidden fruit
I saw the snake in the grass but i had bitten too soon.
(Chorus)
My heart breaks, in a heartbeat
And your stormy when you come and go
Taste of, something, so sweet
Should have, warned me
'Bout the undertow, Nooo
I coudn't find a better man to let me go
I, should have seen
You, comin in
Should recognize the signs that waves gonna break
Not, giving in
Why, fight it when
I reside to simply live in your way, your way
Heart breaks, ooo in a heartbeat
And your stormy when you come and go
Taste of, something, so sweet
Should have, warned me
'Bout the undertow, Nooo
I coudn't find a better man to let me go
No No No No I couldn't find a better man to let me go
Mmmmm, heyyyy
dont ooh ooh
duh duh duh
should have let me go
take my pain away...
