Sorrow
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.
Sorrow found me when I was young
Sorrow waited, sorrow won
Sorrow, they put me on the pill
It's in my honey, it's in my milk
Don't leave my hyper heart alone on the water
Cover me in rag and bone and sympathy
'Cause I don't want to get over you
I don't want to get over you
Sorrow's my body on the waves
Sorrow's the girl inside my cake
I live in a city sorrow built
It's in my honey it's in my milk
Don't leave my hyper heart alone on the water
Cover me in rag and bone and sympathy
'Cause I don't want to get over you
I don't want to get over you
Don't leave my hyper heart alone on the water
Cover me in rag and bone and sympathy
'Cause I don't want to get over you
I don't want to get over you
