Flatsound – The Cowardly Lion Doesn't Write Love Songs lyrics

It's turning on the TV when you were fourteen
You said, "My mom's asleep, we won't get caught
What do you want to watch?"
And I could hear the traffic that I know you're ignoring
But I let it into my life to thicken the air I breathe

It was at the bus stop that a woman cried
And I could tell she was different by the look in her eyes
And I don't know what she said, but I felt what she meant
In her honesty

And I went to your house that night and I told you about
The woman's eyes and the words in her mouth
And how I wouldn't mind taking her advice one day
But I'm the cowardly lion

I'll leave quietly if that means
A better chance to commemorate what we had
When we were happy

This isn't a love song, no, not in the least
I just miss you watching my TV when I'm writing
So I can hear you laughing

I swear to God, I still hear you when I close my eyes
And you'd tell me I'm not gonna die
Like you used to, before I did this


You're the sunlight that I wished would leave
I'm the rain cloud I don't wanna be
'Cause the more you're gone
The more I grow pale, I grow pale

You're the sunlight that I wished would leave
I'm the rain cloud I don't wanna be
'Cause the more you're gone
The more I grow pale, I grow pale
