Bastille, Jonas Jalhay, Wynne, F.Stokes - Love Don't Live Here lyrics

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore

When you lived inside of me
There was nothing I could conceive
That you wouldn't do for me
Trouble seemed so far away
You changed that right away, baby

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here anymore
Just emptiness and memories
Of what we had before
Ah, before you went away
Found another place to stay, another home

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore
In the windmill of my eyes
Everyone can see the loneliness inside of me
Why'd you have to go away?
Don't you know I miss you
So and need your love? You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here
And if you break my heart
Then blood's gonna spill here just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore
I said love don't live here
And if you break my heart
Then blood's gonna spill here

Daddy was a preacher
Mama had the features of an angel
Born in Oklahoma to an Anglo
Whose Anglo was pimping like a Klango
In the cutlass backseat window
I do this for my kid folk
Who saw Katrina hit and said
"But goddamn it, have we been broke
Scribes for the king
And please, send my pleasantries
To the local peasantries

But although we live in hell
We can still dream heavily"
(Don't live here, don't live here anymore)
Scholar's a felon ain't no telling, fella!
He told me I wasn't shit
I had to show him better
Poetic like a letter from my mistress
Who after my performance in Paris 12 district
Wrote in broken English in a match book:
'You are terrific
And your style was godly amazing!'
Signed with pink stained lips
And a chocolate she was saving
And that note, I kept, it wept
On the metro station steps
Not giving a fuck about who saw me
For my bravery just applaud me
But love don't live here
And if you break my heart
Then blood's gonna spill here

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here
And if you break my heart
Then blood's gonna spill here just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here
And if you break my heart
Then blood's gonna spill here

Oh, I'll see you in the future
When we're old and when we're full
Of stories to be told
Cross my heart and hope to die
See you with your laughter lines
I'll see you there

You abandoned me
Love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here
And if you break my heart
Then blood's gonna spill here just a vacancy
Love don't live here anymore
Love don't live here
And if you break my heart
Then blood's gonna spill here

I'll see you in the future when we're older
And we are full of stories to be told
Cross my heart and hope to die
I'll see you with your laughter lines
