Jaymay - Lonely Men Built Lonely Cities lyrics
Lonely men built lonely cities
She worked hard until she was beautiful still he
Noticed nothing unusual this was his way
He's gonna stay devoted to the project
And she's committed herself to not caring anymore
Her heart wasn't sore she was sure she had cured
The burden of loving someone may be better than loving no one
She's looking up her mind says maybe
Or else she's fucking crazy it's slavery
To begin it again, pick it up from the end
Save the pieces that never gave never bend
Still the whole time there's this light
It won't let her say goodnight
Some white beam of hope in the sky
Has her questioning why
Has her constantly trying and lying inside
Has her hiding away like some potential bride
Who keeps turning her back like the turn of the tide
The burden of loving someone may be better than loving no one
The burden of loving someone may be better than loving no one
When you feel what you're feeling with all of your might
You write down to tell and sing like hell in the night
'Bout the man on your mind when you turn out the light
Who ignited the room when invited inside
Who now is long gone and despite how forthright
Was the song you played just to show how uptight
And embarrassed he made you your loves stay strong
Convincing words appear backwards and wrong
It just doesn't make sense to want to belong
With a guy who made you all tense and withdrawn
It shows you in the corner where the walls shadows
Silhouette the one you wont let go who hasn't arrived yet
And he wont you know you can just forget about him though
The burden of loving someone may be better than loving no one
The burden of loving someone may be better than loving no one
I ain't so sure about that its not matter of fact
If the world fell in half are you for it adoring to
Kick back relax and laugh and deplore
Cursing all of the fools who exist to implore
Writing books cursing morons who tore what
They swore gave them reasons to be
I love him. He loves me.
And the burden of loving someone may be better than loving no one
The burden of loving someone may be better
