Noah Taylor - Crestfallen Lyrics

I was the lover, liar, leaver, schemer, unchecked cheat
You were the song that cut the wounds that I left out to seep
Emotion in a sea of feelings that were make believe
I pour all my opinions out onto my bedroom floor
Letting the melodies escape the tears till there's no more
Drowning the demons that I harbor with a set of chords

And I wish you would stay, don't let go of me, don't let go of me
And I wish I could change

Cause I barely get by and I do it to myself, I'm crestfallen but I don't need help
Guess that's how it goes when you love, when you love
And will I wake up just fine, will I be breathing alright, and will you ever be mine
Is that how it goes, you know, when you love, when you love

I find the days are only harder when you're not around
It should be easier for us to be apart right now
You are the thing I think I might just think the most about
And every night I sleep I'm dreaming of your throne
Hoping my eyes could keep you in my embrace
For longer than before, I'm calling please ignore, I'm down on my knees for you

And I wish you would stay, don't let go of me, don't let go of me
And I wish I could change

Cause I barely get by and I do it to myself, I'm crestfallen but I don't need help
Guess that's how it goes when you love, when you love
And will I wake up just fine, will I be breathing alright, and will you ever be mine
Is that how it goes, you know, when you love, when you love

And every night I sleep I'm dreaming of your throne
Hoping my eyes could keep you in my embrace
For longer than before, I'm calling please ignore, I'm down on my knees for you

Cause I barely get by and I do it to myself, I'm crestfallen but I don't need help
Guess that's how it goes when you love, when you love
And will I wake up just fine, and then, will I be breathing alright, pretend
And will you ever be mine, again
Is that how it goes, you know, when you love, when you love
