Loyle Carner – Eleven lyrics

[Intro: Rejjie Snow]

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
Get this nigga a beat

[Verse 1: Loyle Carner]

The green leaves turn maroon as the wind claims he caught them
It's autumn, and he didn't want to lose her so he bought them
Two tickets the theatre the national waterloo
He knew he should have kept it simple but simple just wouldn't do
Cause she was 17 but little redheaded never been beaded before
Begging for more, but was stressed in the core
Now was he right, was he the type, did he want it every night
Or would they tangle once then disappear out of sight
It wasn't quite unrequited, but was close enough
Known to hold a bluff, hoping he would open up when her clothes where off
But he never did, just another story
What's porky to a pig, now he was glorious with fibs
And that was that, telling her lies, acting like it's fact
But leaving him less and less cause she knew it became a trap
But the gap to escape had merely turned into a crack
And it was at this very second she knew she weren't getting back
So, they continued to kick it slow
I was on the side writing rhymes like i didn't know
But i knew. And it hurt, never let it show through
Didn't work couldn't tell the truth like i told you
So listen, don't be caught up in their eye's that glisten
Cause i've been it that very position, demise of wisdom
Tell them you miss them, they say get back and you're praying it's true
But think, who else are they saying it too

[Hook: Loyle Carner]

Divine shower, mind powers that blind our's
By minute dark devours the kind, giving
