Artist: Laura Marling Album: Alas I Cannot Swim
Lyrics
He walked down a busy street Staring solely at his feet Clutching pictures of past lovers at his side Stood at the table where she sat And removed his hat In respect of her presence Presents her with the pictures and says These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you
Opened up his little heart Unlocked the lock that kept it dark Read a written warning Saying I'm still mourning Over ghosts Over ghosts Over ghosts Over ghosts that broke my heart before I met you
Lover, please do not fall to your knees It's not like I believe in everlasting love
So he went crazy at nineteen Said he lost all his self esteem And couldn't understand why he was cry, cry, crying Crying
He would stare at empty chairs Think of the ghosts who once sat there The ghosts that broke his heart Oh, the ghosts that broke my heart The ghosts that broke his heart Oh, the ghosts that broke my heart The ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts, the ghosts The ghosts that broke my heart before I met you
Lover, please do not fall to your knees It's not like I believe in everlasting love
He says I'm so lost Not at all well Ooooh Ooooh
Do as done and there's nothing left to be It turned out I'd been following him and he'd been following me Do as done after it was over We were just two lovers crying on each others shoulders, and I say
Lover, please do not fall to your knees It's not like I believe in everlasting love
Lover, please do not fall to your knees It's not like I believe in everlasting love
