lyrics

[Verse 1: Vera Much]
I know I should be glad you found me (glad you found me)
that’s why i’m glad you found me (glad you found me)
I just want you safe and sound (safe and sound)
I just need your arms around me
I just need your arms around me (arms around me)
I just need you around me
I hope that you get there
I hope when you get there
I hope that you’ll ask about me (ask about me)
I hope you find out about me
everything you wanna find
I hope they can tell you bout me
I hope that you have time
I know you need your time
You know i’d never lie,
Except for when i lie on you in the night
I know it’s alright cause you say it’s alright

[Chorus: Left at London]
I write for no one in particular
I sing for someone I may never meet, but
I would like to smile again,
I would like to kiss somebody & cry

[Verse 2: Left at London]
I give my heart out
only for it to break
I fell in love
It’s a beginners mistake
she told me “you can paint your anger,
But try to get my good side as well,”
But I’m running out of things
to say
I don’t need you, (I don’t need you)
But I need you, (but I need you)
If this the new you,
What did I teach you? (What did I teach you)
Saw you at the party,
but I couldn’t reach you (couldn’t reach you)
Said I missed you,
you said “good to see you”
& I wish I could recover,
I don’t love you anymore, yet
I don’t know if I can love again
But the crowds want a love song
But It doesn’t feel honest now the love’s gone

[Chorus: Left at London]
I write for no one in particular
I sing for someone I may never meet, but
I would like to smile again,
I would like to kiss somebody & cry
I write for no one in particular
I sing for someone I may never meet, but
I would like to smile again,
I would like to kiss somebody & cry

[Verse 3: Left at London]
But I haven’t felt that way in so long
& a love like ours was such a pleasant one,
But honestly my trust in love has faltered,
& now all I have’s regrets & gratitude
& if falling in love
is all that it takes
To make you love the world
You’ll be bitter when they go
Because even infinity in it’s entirety
Still can turn to nothingness
When it’s multiplied by zero

[Outro: Left at London]
I should be patient
I should be kind
But I don’t have energy anymore
I shouldn’t envy,
I shouldn’t boast,
But I don’t have energy anymore
I shouldn’t seek
The love for myself
But I don’t know how I could call it a day
I guess my love is conditional
I guess it’s harder to give it away
I should be patient
I should be kind
But I don’t have energy anymore
I shouldn’t envy,
I shouldn’t boast,
But I don’t have energy anymore
I shouldn’t seek
The love for myself
But I don’t know how I could call it a day
I guess my love is conditional
I guess it’s harder to give it away
(I write for no one in particular)
I should be patient
I should be kind
But I don’t have energy anymore
(I sing for someone I may never meet, but)
I shouldn’t envy,
I shouldn’t boast,
But I don’t have energy anymore
(I would like to smile again,)
I shouldn’t seek
The love for myself
But I don’t know how I could call it a day
(I would like)
You knew your love was conditional,
Why did you promise to stay?
