THE ARCADE FIRE - Crown Of Love lyrics

They say it fades if you let it, love was made to forget it. i carved

your name across my eyelids, you pray for rain i pray for blindness.

if you still want me, please forgive me, the crown of love is not upon me.

if you still want me, please forgive me, because the spark is not within me.

i snuffed it out before my mom walked in my bedroom.

the only thing that you keep changin' is your name. my love keeps

growin' still the same, just like cancer, and you won't give me a

straight answer!

if you still want me, please forgive me, the crown of love has fallen from me.

if you still want me, please forgive me, because your hands are not upon me.

i shrugged them off before my mom walked in my bedroom.

the pains of love, and they keep growin', in my heart there's flowers

growin' on the grave of our old love, since you gave me a straight

answer.

if you still want me, please forgive me, the crown of love is not upon me.

if you still want me, please forgive me, because the spark is not within me.

it's not within me.

it's not within me.

you gotta be the one. you gotta be the way. your name is the only

word, the only word that i can say!
