I BET YOU THINK THAT I DON'T LOVE YOU

White Blank Page.
Mumford & Sons.

 

​Can you lie next to her and give her your heart? As well as your body. And can you lie next to her and confess your love? As well as your folly. And can you kneel before the king and say I'm clean? But tell me now where was my fault, in loving you with my whole heart? A white blank page and a swelling rage. You did not think when you sent me to the brink. You desired my attention but denied my affections, my affections. Heart, heart... Lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life.

Deep Within the Corners of My Mind. Melody Gardot.

​

Deep within the corners of my mind, I keep a memory of your faces and I only pull it out when I long for your embrace. Deep within the corners of my mind, I'm haunted by your smile as it promises me joys like a journey to a tropic isle. It's not hard to see what you do to me. It's like a page right out of Ernest Hemmingway. Though I try to fight it all the words you write leave me standing in the starry robe in some tradjec lovers place. But deep within the corners of my mind, I'm praying secretly that eventually in time there'll be a place for you and me. Deep within the corners of my mind.

I Can't Make You Love Me / Nick of Time.
Bon Iver.

​

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed. Turn down these voices inside my head. Lay down with me, tell me no lies. Just hold me close, don't patronize me. Cause I can't make you love me If you don't. You can't make your heart feel something it won't. Here in the dark, in these final hours, I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power.... but you won't. No, you won't. Cause I can't make you love me If you don't. I'll close my eyes, then I won't see the love you don't feel when you're holding me. Morning will come and I'll do what's right. Just give me till then to give up this fight. And I will give up this fight.

I Don't Wanna Be With Nobody but You.
Joss Stone.

​

Bet you think that I don't love you, baby. Bet you think that I don't care. But I wanna tell you you got something and I'm loving it with all my heart, I don't wanna ever part. I don't wanna be with nobody but you. I don't wanna be with no-one but you. I wanna to be wrapped up in the arms of my mighty man. Come on and wrap me wrap me in your arms because I know you can. Don't you know that you can call on me, baby? All you gotta do is say you will, cause I'm ready just to love you and put an end to all your doubts. I know we can work it out.  Man, I love you, so put an end to your fantasy or you just might blow it all. Get yourself together and, baby, when you do, you're gonna see that I'll be true to you. ...No-one but you, no other man. You, is all about you.

Try A Little Tenderness.
Otis Redding.

​

Oh, she may be weary. Young girls, they do get weary, wearing that same old shaggy dress. But when she gets weary, try a little tenderness. You know she's waiting, just anticipating for things that she'll never never possess. But, while she's there waiting without them, try a little tenderness. It's not just sentimental, oh no. She has her grief and cares. But the soft words, the are spoken so gentle, it makes it easier to bear. You wont regret it, no. Young girls, they wont forget it. Love is their whole happiness. But its all so easy, all you got to do is try a little tenderness. All you've gotta do is, man, hold her where you want her. Squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her. Get to her! Just try a little tenderness. You got to know how to love her, man. Take this advice, man: you got to squeeze her,don't tease her, never leave. You got to hold her and brother, something else. Try a little tenderness...

Kiss With A Fist.
Florence + The Machine.

​

You hit me once, I hit you back. You gave a kick, I gave a slap. You smashed a plate over my head then I set fire to our bed. My black eye casts no shadow, your red eye sees no pain. Your slaps don't stick, your kicks don't hit. So we remain the same. Blood sticks, sweat drips, break the lock if it don't fit. A kick in the teeth is good for some. A kiss with a fist is better than none. I broke your jaw once before, I spilt your blood upon the floor. You broke my leg in return. So I sit back and watch the bed burn.

07

Love Lost.
The Temper Trap.

​

Our love was lost, but now we've found it. Our love was lost and hope was gone. Our love was lost, but now we've found it. And, if you flash your heart, I won't deny it. I promise. Your walls are up, too cold to touch it. Your walls are up, too high to climb. I know it's hard, but I can still hear it beating. So, if you flash your heart, I won't mistreat it. I promise. Our love was lost. In the rubble are all the things that you've been dreaming of. Keep me in mind. When you're ready, I am here to take you every time. Our love was lost...  but now it's found.

Me And You.
Slow Club.

​

Me and You! We're moving gravel off someone else's drive into a barrel, it helps us stay alive. Off to market you will buy a cone. They'll never notice, they're never home. Policy and bureaus help to move the tide. Pounds filling euros, get yourself a wife who loves you for who you are, and not just because the other one is tight. Marry into money, marry twice. Live underneath the staircase, of speak your mind. Well, I've got a feeling someome else is reading the letters I wrote to you. Well, my pets illiterate and I live alone. So, it's someone in betwixed of me and you. Last time we spoke I thought we were through. I found a map and now I know the way you can just go back. There's a bat hibernating on my bathroom wall. No-one went in for weeks, he thought it was a home safe to sleep the nights away. Shh. I offered him some food but he said, I cannot stay. I'm disgraced by my actions and I'm at law from the cay. Crying in the taxi won't do you no good. I tried to make a vessel but there was no wood strong enough to bend and never swell. We can jump right in and buy a pair of gills. But holding on for that long could be the end aswell... Help yourself out, shoot history in the mouth, it's all that's left to do. Look me up in some phonebook, under, Me and You.
