Ezra Furman - Crown of Love (The Arcade Fire) 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 has fallen from 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 changing
Is your name, my love keeps growing

Still the same, just like a 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 growing
In my heart there's flowers growing
On the grave of our old love
Since you gave me a straight answer

You gotta be the one you gotta be the way
Your name is the only word that I can say
