Crywank - It Was a Swift Not a Swallow (I Never Listen) lyrics
[Crywank - It Was a Swift Not a Swallow I Never Listen lyrics]
Don't tell me I’m the one
I wouldn't want to be the one
I wouldn't want to know
Yeah, there’s context, of course
These are temporary thoughts
I think one day they'll go
Yes, I know I love you, but as time goes on
I think we'll both get hurt
And we keep clinging on whilst we treat
Each other like we don't deserve
When we met
You gave me a necklace of a bird
You said didn't have a home
I can't remember for sure but I think
It was a type of swallow
Sometimes I think we both knew from
The start that this was doomed
Please know, my love
I treasure all the time I spent with you
And truth be told
I'm so unsure if I should even walk away
But, I keep clinging on whilst knowing that
I treat you worse every day
I am distant in mind and I am distant in body
Even with me by your side
You'll be inevitably lonely
And of one thing I’m sure
It’s that you deserve more
I am selfish and distracted
Some weeks barely interacted
I am difficult and late
I do not save the date
I have myself prioritised
I ask your help and time
I so rarely give you mine
When we met
You gave me a necklace of a bird
You said didn't have a home
I can’t remember for sure but I think
It was a type of swallow
Sometimes I think we both knew from
The start that this was doomed
Please know, my love
I treasure all the time I spent with you
And now I feel like such a fool
For this to be what I choose
As if you weren't enough
Because, I can say that I've
Never felt as loved
I can't apologize more for
My absence of emotion
I know this song I write for
You is just a selfish token
Although there’s pain in the end
I would love to remain your friend
Break the past and make amends
And learn to love you again in a new way
I wouldn't want to be the one
I wouldn't want to know
Yeah, there’s context, of course
These are temporary thoughts
I think one day they'll go
Yes, I know I love you, but as time goes on
I think we'll both get hurt
And we keep clinging on whilst we treat
Each other like we don't deserve
When we met
You gave me a necklace of a bird
You said didn't have a home
I can't remember for sure but I think
It was a type of swallow
Sometimes I think we both knew from
The start that this was doomed
Please know, my love
I treasure all the time I spent with you
And truth be told
I'm so unsure if I should even walk away
But, I keep clinging on whilst knowing that
I treat you worse every day
I am distant in mind and I am distant in body
Even with me by your side
You'll be inevitably lonely
And of one thing I’m sure
It’s that you deserve more
I am selfish and distracted
Some weeks barely interacted
I am difficult and late
I do not save the date
