I know I said I loved you but I'm thinking I was wrong,
I'm the first to admit that I'm still pretty young,
And I never meant to hurt you when I wrote you ten love songs.
That guy that I could never get, whose girlfriend was pretty fit,
And everyone who knew her loved her so.
And I made you leave her for me and now I'm feeling pretty mean,
But my mind has fucked me over more times than any man could ever know.
Maybe I should give up, give in,
Give up trying to be thin,
Give up and turn into my mother,
God knows I love her.
And I'm sorry to whichever man should meet my sorry state,
Watch my steady, lonesome gait and be aware,
I will never love a man 'cause love and pain go hand in hand,
And I can't do it,
Again.
So we stayed up late one night to try and get our problems right,
But I couldn't get into his head just what was going through my mind.
think he knew where I was going 'cause he put Ryan Adams on,
I think he thinks it makes me weak, but it only ever makes me strong.
I've got this friend and he sounds just like him,
And he's the man I'd leave you for, the man that I just adore,
Like you.
The same man, he turns to me, said "I've got to tell you how I feel,
If God could make the perfect girl, for me it would be you,"
And my God told me not to tell about how much do you love your fella?
I don't know more everyday,
Not in this new romantic way.
I'll always be your first love,
You'll always be my first love.
But I'm sorry to whichever man should meet my sorry state,
Watch my steady, lonesome gait and be aware,
I will never love a man 'cause love and pain go hand in hand,
And I can't do it,
Again.
I will never love a man 'cause I could never hurt a man,
Not in this new romantic way.
OK this is a cover but I can't find a video by Marling of this.
Can I let jealousy blind me today?
My oldest friend, and I blew her away
Just a few kind words, and all I could say
Was "I've known you, what, 10 years and it feels like a day"
And I watched her cry
Torn apart at the hands of a child
You cannot use arrogance as something to depend
Condemned all religion to a pitiless end
And a politician's resonance ran through my mind
Patriotic in one sense, in the other just blind
And I watched them cry
Torn apart at the hands of a child
I'll keep on going, I've got nothing to lose
I gave up morals when I took up booze
And it's boring to hear of another young you
What a typically shit thing to do
And I was so shallow to the one man who stuck around
Sunk so low that I nearly drowned
And I screamed of his heart when he wasn't around
Consoled him recklessly, I knew he was done
Oh, he all but died
Torn apart at the hands of a child
And I'll keep on going, I've got nothing to lose
I gave up morals when I took up booze
And it's boring to hear of another young you
What a typically shit thing to do
And I have felt heartbreak too and I know what it feels like
And I have felt heartbreak now and I know that it hurts, right
I have felt loneliness and I know what it feels like
The ground is to swallow you up and you know what it hurts, right
And I'll keep on going, I've got nothing to lose
I gave up morals when I took up booze
And it's boring to hear of another young you
What a typically shit thing to do
