she found a love

The Manchester Orchestra

Well, she found a love and he found a victim,
he thought it was strange, she knew it was meant to be.
She wore white and he wore the black suite,
she gave him no lies, she gave her innocense.
From day one it seemed she'd wake up from the day dream,
but irony bleeds, seeing as he was a nightmare.
She'd give him the world, he only had to ask her
but controlling yourself is easier when you're sober.

I know this hard - just have faith in the Lord.
But the lord hasn't been seen around here in years.

Well, she found a love and he found a life line,
her eyes were jet black, she figured the right time
to leave was approaching and soon she'd be leaving.
The tracks would remind her of wishes for dead leaves
to roll on and on; yeah she'd have to be clever,
she tried once before it ended in bloodshed.
She knows she must run, but has to run faster,
Yeah, she was a princess and he was a bastard.

I know this hard - just have faith in the Lord.
but the lord has not been seen around here in years.
I know this hard - just have faith in the Lord.
but the lord has not been seen around here in years.

I know this hard - just have faith in the Lord.
but the lord has not been seen around here in years.
I know this hard - just have faith in the Lord.
but the lord has not been seen around here in years.
