So Long, London

Lyrics

[Intro] So (So) long (Long), London (London) So (So) long (Long), London (London) So (So) long (Long), London (London) [Verse 1] I saw in my mind fairy lights through the mist I kept calm and carried the weight of the rift Pulled him in tighter each time he was driftin' away My spine split from carrying us up the hill Wet through my clothes, weary bones caught the chill I stopped tryna make him laugh, stopped tryna drill the safe [Chorus] Thinkin', "How much sad did you think I had Did you think I had in me?" Oh, the tragedy So long, London You'll find someone [Verse 2] I didn't opt in to be your odd man out I founded the club she's heard great things about I left all I knew, you left me at the house by the Heath I stoppеd CPR, after all, it's no use The spirit was gonе, we would never come to And I'm pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free [Chorus] For so long, London Stitches undone Two graves, one gun I'll find someone [Bridge] And you say I abandoned the ship But I was going down with it My white-knuckle dying grip Holding tight to your quiet resentment And my friends said it isn't right to be scared Every day of a love affair Every breath feels like rarest air When you're not sure if he wants to be there [Chorus] So how much sad did you think I had Did you think I had in me? How much tragedy? Just how low did you Think I'd go 'fore I'd self-implode? 'Fore I'd have to go be free? [Verse 3] You swore that you loved me, but where were the clues? I died on the altar waitin' for the proof You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days And I'm just getting color back into my face I'm just mad as hell 'cause I loved this place for [Chorus] So (So) long (Long), London (London) Had (Had) a (A) good (Good) run (Run) A moment (Moment) of warm sun (Sun) But I'm (I'm) not (Not) the (The) one (One) So (So) long (Long), London (London) Stitches (Stitches) undone (Undone) Two (Two) graves (Graves) one gun (Gun) You'll (You'll) find (Find) someone
