Playlist Lianne La Havas

lianne la havas - age

Why do I love him?
He don't love back
When I call his name, he turns his back
The weather is growing cold
And I want him back again

I kinda know this other guy but he's rather
Old enough to be my father
So he's not the one for me
Cause I fancy younger men
I'm at a loss not a coincidence he left me because
My older man
Was ready to love me like the woman that I am
(Ooooh...)

So is it such a problem that he's old?
As long as he does whatever he's told
I'm glad that it's just my heart that he stole
And left my dignity alone

When in Rome we landed our first kiss
I slurred my words but he pretended not to notice
And then he sat down to play
My heart sang a symphony
So far, so swimmingly
And then I got up to find my fish in that sea
We've come so far
So who gives a damn about the ages we are
(Ooooh...)

So is it such a problem that he's old?
As long as he does whatever he's told
I'm glad that it's just my heart that he stole
And left my dignity alone

So is it such a problem that he's old?
As long as he does whatever he's told
I know I'm gonna survive the december cold

With somebody to retrieve my long lost soul
With somebody to retrieve my long lost soul

lianne la havas - au cinéma

Sometimes when you Zorg, hm
And I'm your Betty Blue
And we're singing it close
Like the girls in "Belleville Rendez-vous"

I wish
That we
Could somehow freeze the frame
But this isn't the silver screen, no...

There's no pause...
No rewind...

Time to find out where the story goes
Sat hip to hip with the curtains close
Watching ourselves "Au Cinéma"

Take our positions as the cameras roll
You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl
Watching ourselves "Au Cinéma"

Now we'll cut to the girl, alone
She's found on the Brooklyn Bridge
And she's truly at home, home
Her step has a whole new spring
Big bright lights of the city are shining for her
There's a thirst in her eyes in her eyes and her heart
Though she thinks to look back
Back, she won't

There's no pause
No rewind
No pause
No rewind

Time to find out where the story goes
Sat hip to hip with the curtains close
Watching ourselves "Au Cinéma"

Take our positions as the cameras roll
You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl
Watching ourselves "Au Cinéma"

lianne la havas - don t wake me up

Don't wake me up
I am
Trying to find you
Oh, as I walk through
You're hiding in my corners of my mind

Never fear, I'll be close behind
My only love, I'll follow behind you
Won't go without you

I know your love weighs
Heavy on my heart
But you are my only counterpart

Will, I know
Why I lost control
Of my heart and soul
Because I know you
I can reach through

I made mistakes
But they're safely behind me
Now I can run free
The only true love I have ever known

Into yours, my life has been thrown
Still, I only think so
It's just the beginning
Sing when you're willing

They say some things
Are better left unsaid
But I'd take my life
To stay in your bed

Will, I know why I lost control
Of my heart and soul
Because I know you
I can reach through

Don't wake me up
Trying to find you
Oh, as I walk through

Will I know
Why I lost control
Of my heart and soul
Because I know you
I can reach through

Don't wake me up
Trying to find you

lianne la havas - elusive

Ah ah ahhh [x3]

He's a gambler, spinning wheels
A poison victim, look of steel
The coldest heart you've ever felt
The coldest hands you've ever held
Take him down, all his way
A million miles, still no headway
Has his love truly blown?
In his mind I'm proud to roam

He's elusive and I'm awake
Defiantly real, there's nothing fake
A mystery now to me and you
Open my eyes and I'm next to you
He says my destiny
Lies in the hands that set me free

A reckless night, he hears me breathe
Cursing the skies of this company
You've lost the wisdom deep inside
His bitterness shows it's side
If it's true I'll doom
What more is there to hold onto?
Strength of head is all I own
If to me this sorry's whole

He's elusive and I'm awake
Defiantly real, there's nothing fake
A mystery now to me and you
Open my eyes and I'm next to you
He says my destiny
Lies in the hands that set me free
Ooooh ooooooh, oh oh, ohh oh ohhh [x4]
(That set me free)

He's elusive and I'm awake
Defiantly real, there's nothing fake
A mystery now to me and you
Open my eyes and I'm next to you
He says my destiny
Lies in the hands that set me, that set me free

Oooooh
Mystery now to me and you
Open my eyes and I'm next to you
He says my destiny
Lies in the hands that set me,
Lies in the hands that set me free

lianne la havas - empty

I knew you were empty
I knew you will always change
Still I'm alone
But oh, how I've grown

Thought that he'd left me
Thought that he'd burned out bright
And I'm alone
But somehow I'm alright

It seemed so easy
Just to walk
Just to run
But if you leave me
I can reacquaint myself
With my true loved one

Just leave town
I can sleep when you're not around
I thought it was myself that I'd found

I knew you were empty
I knew you will always change
Still I'm alone
But oh, how I've grown

Thought that he'd left me
Thought that he'd burned out bright
And I'm alone
But somehow I'm alright

It seemed so easy
Just to walk
Just to run
But if you leave me
I can reacquaint myself
With my true loved one so

Just leave town
I can sleep when you're not around
I thought it was myself that I'd found

I said,
Just leave town
I can sleep when you're not around
I gotta take another call right now

lianne la havas - everything everything

I can use my head again
I always suffered then
My heart is stolen, let it show
But I'll run forever more
You know there's not a soul alive
Who understands you like I do
It's okay my love, no need to explain

There's nothing to say
Your eyes said it all, all, alllll (All, all, alllll)
I'm not looking away
Your eyes hold everything, everything
Mmmm

We should learn to breathe again
Before we suffocate
All this talk but even then
We ex-communicate
I've never known another love
Who looks at me the way you do
And sees the light
The dark
The truth
And my real name
You know there's not a soul alive
Could understand you like I do
Its okay my love, no need to explain
Oh

There's nothing to say
Your eyes said it all, all, alllll (All, all, alllll)
I'm not looking away
Your eyes hold everything, everything

There's nothing to say
Your eyes said it all, all, alllll (All, all, alllll)
I'm not looking away
Your eyes hold everything, everything

They told everything, everything
Ohhh

(Can use, can use my head again)

lianne la havas - forget

Waste all your time writing love songs
But you don't love me
All too familiar when it feels wrong
I think you're just lonely

Do you mind?
I found another new way to look at
Use your time to pack away
Your every verse and every rhyme

Forget all the words
That let you break my heart
Forget that I'm the person
Tearing you apart

Remember way back when you played me
Even I lost that hand
So please don't try to serenade me
I am a one man band

Say goodbye
Don't need to hear you play
So many other ways to lie
So pack away your every verse and every rhyme

Forget all the words
That let you break my heart
Forget that I'm the person
Tearing you apart

Forget all the words
That let you break my heart
Forget that I'm the person
Tearing you apart

I think it's time for me to leave
But I gave my piece of mind for free
So if you hear my sound advice
There is no need to tell you twice
There is no need to tell you twice

Forget all the words
That let you break my heart
Forget that I'm the person
Tearing you apart

Forget all the words
That let you break my heart
Forget that I'm the person
Tearing you apart

So if you hear my sound advice
There is no need to tell you twice
So if you hear my sound advice
There is no need to tell you twice

lianne la havas - gone

When I waited for you there was no show
Made myself believe the untrue
How could I not know
I bet it seemed easier just to lie
But I found you out
This is my last goodbye
I heard enough fairy tales back in my youth
So just stop biting your nails and take the painful truth
You just look ridiculous in disguise
Yes I found you out
This is my last goodbye
'Cause it used to be my life and soul
Keeping everything in tune
What the heck man?
Last time I checked man
We had it all
It was just me and you
So what happened to you
Thought I knew you
No more chances
I'm gone, gone, gone

Love is not blind, it's just deaf and it is dumb
So how could I fool myself thinking you were the one
How sad, how undignified
Now I found you out
This is my last goodbye
'Cause it used to be my life and soul
Keeping everything in tune
What the heck man?
Last time I checked man
We had it all
It was just me and you
So what happened to you
Thought I knew you
No more chances
I'm gone, gone, gone
Don't wait for me
I'll be gone
'Cause when I waited for you
There was no show
Made myself believe the untrue
How could I not know

'Cause it used to be my life and soul
Keeping everything in tune
What the heck man?
Last time I checked man
We had it all
It was just me and you
So what happened to you
Thought I knew you
No more chances
I'm gone and gone and gone and gone

'Cause it used to be my life and soul
Keeping everything in tune
What the heck man?
Last time I checked man
We had it all
It was just me and you
So what happened to you
I thought I knew you
No more chances
I'm gone, gone
I'm gone, gone, gone
Ohhhh (Well you did not wait for the last time)

lianne la havas - is your love big enough

Found myself in the second
I found myself in the secondhand guitar
Never thought it would happen
But I found myself in the secondhand guitar
So I?ve just got to know
I truly have to know
So you?ve got to let me know
Is your love big enough for what?s to come?
Got so hot in the city
That I forgot everything I was looking for
Make my way to the dance floor
And I danced ?til I wasn?t drunk anymore
So I?ve just got to know
I truly have to know
So you?ve got to let me know
Is your love big enough for what?s to come?
Baby let me know
Is your love big enough for past is done?
Baby let me know
Underground, underground
With the friends I?ve found, friends I?ve found
I scream
I scream
On second avenue
I scream on second avenue
Is your love big enough for what?s to come?
Baby let me know
Is your love big enough for past is done?
Won?t you let me know
Is your love big enough for what?s to come?
Is your love big enough, big enough?
Is your love big enough for what?s to come?
Won?t you let me know
Is your love big enough for past is done?
Baby let me know
Is your love big enough for what?s to come?
Is your love big enough for what?s to come?

lianne la havas - lost amp found

Come upstairs and I'll show you where all my
Where my demons hide from you
Just look at who I have become
I am so ashamed you were the one that made me
feel the way I do

You broke me
And taught me
To truly hate myself
Unfold me
And teach me
How to be like somebody else

When I felt strong enough
I was discovered by the love
I had been waiting for so long
You told me none of that was real
I cannot hide how low I feel
To know that you were never wrong

You broke me
And taught me
To truly hate myself
Unfold me
And teach me
How to be like somebody else

You're lost and found
Fallen out
Broken down

You broke me
And taught me
To truly hate myself
Unfold me
And teach me
How to be like somebody else

lianne la havas - no room for doubt

You caught me, guilty
Taking the pieces of you
That night, you took flight
I couldn't decide what to do
I won't let a safe bet
Continue to make me go blue
I could go solo
Would that be the right thing to do?

We all make mistakes, we do
I learnt from you
We all make mistakes, we do
I learnt from you

I tiptoe, too slow
Out of the door to your house
I know you know
That this way leads me out
Outside, too bright
You're within, I'm without
You're within, I'm without

We all make mistakes, we do
I learnt from you
We all make mistakes, we do
I learnt from you

Please sleep softly
Leave me no room for doubt
Please sleep softly
Please sleep softly
Leave me no room for doubt
Leave me no room for doubt
Please sleep softly
Leave me no room for doubt
Leave me no room for doubt
Please sleep softly
Leave me no room for doubt
Leave me no room for doubt

We all make mistakes, we do
I learnt from you
We all make mistakes, we do
I learnt from you
We all make mistakes, we do
I learnt from you
We all make mistakes, we do
I learnt from you
Oh

Please sleep softly
Leave me no
Please sleep softly
Leave me no room for doubt
Please sleep softly
Leave me no
Please sleep softly
Leave me no room for doubt

lianne la havas - tease me

A dream never stops
But I see the end before I wake up
Ooh
A dream never wins, no
So I pray for yesterday
And I haven't slept a wink since

I never know what I want, what I need
So I think its best you stay away from me

'Cause I hate the way you tease me
I am not lonely, I'm alright
But you sure don't make it easy
To show my hand and say, "goodnight"

Try anything
But it's me who takes the blame
If I sing, Ooooh
Will I try again?
No
I've received my faithful end
How did I let this shit happen?

I never know what I want, what I need
So I think its best you stay away from me

'Cause I hate the way you tease me
I am not lonely, I'm alright
But you sure don't make it easy
To show my hand and say, "goodnight"

Will I try again?
No

I hate the way you tease me
I am not lonely, I'm alright
But you sure don't make it easy
To show my hand and say, "goodbye"

I never let my guard down
So why did I let it slide for you?
I know it so wrong, but somehow
There's nothin' I could say, or do
Or do

lianne la havas - they could be wrong

The way you look when you're sleeping
The way you breathe when you're leaving
I know you more then I'm not myself

Mmm... And when you're home feel your footsteps
I count alone in the darkness
In the darkness

They say our love won't last forever
They could be wrong
And when they say our love won't last forever
They could be wrong
They could be wrong

The way you smile when I'm speaking
I feel how clearly you see me
How clearly you see me

They say our love won't last forever
They could be wrong
And when they say our love won't last forever
They could be wrong
They could be wrong
They could be wrong
They could be wrong

(Ooooh)
We could be wrong

Hear me out
Just hear me out
Oh hear me out
Just hear me out
Oh hear me out
Just hear me out
Oh hear me out
Just hear me out
(They say our love won't last forever)
Hear me now
Just hear me now
Oh hear me now
Don't push me out
(They say our love won't last forever)
Oh hear me now
Don't push me out
Oh hear me now
They say our love...

Oh they could be wrong
Yeah they could be wrong

We proved ourselves wrong

They say our love won't last forever
They say our love won't last forever

lianne la havas - good goodbye

Old man, let me wipe your eyes
I've never seen you cry

Old friend, in our own sweet time
We'll say a good goodbye
All my life I know by now

All these memories, too much to lose
No one ever leaves you
I don't need faith, I don't need truth
No one ever leaves you

You'd say this is all there is
And every time you'd blink
You'd miss another piece of this wondrous world
All I'd ask is why you'd leave so soon
Everybody seems to
I don't need faith I just want you
No one ever leaves you

Everybody raise a glass here's to a good goodbye
Everybody raise a glass here's to a good goodbye
Everybody raise a glass here's to a good goodbye
Oh, everybody raise a glass, oh

All these memories too much to lose
No one ever leaves you
I don't need faith I don't need truth
No one ever leaves you
I don't need faith I just want proof

lianne la havas - green and gold

Six years old
Staring at my nose in the mirror
Trying to dip my toes in the mirror
Thinking 'who's that girl? '
And 'does the mirror world go on forever? '

Calmly you roll
Sharpening the knives in the attic
Trying to watch cartoons through the static
Thinking where am I gonna be
If I'm ever twenty three?

I'm looking at a life unfold
Dreaming of the green and gold
Just like the ancient stone
Every sun rise I know
Those eyes you gave to me
That let me see
Where I come from

Found an old friend
Meeting my guitar in the city
Feeling like a star in the city
And suddenly it seems that
I'm where I'm supposed to be, oh

And now I'm fully grown
And I'm seeing everything clearer
Just sweep away the dust from the mirror
We're walking hand in hand on the warm white sands

I'm looking at a life unfold
Dreaming of the green and gold
Just like the ancient stone
Every sun rise I know
Those eyes you gave to me
That let me see
Where I come from

Ancient stone
Oh, green and gold
Ancient stone
Oh, green and gold
Ancient stone
Green and gold
Ancient stone
Green and gold

I'm looking at a life unfold
Dreaming of the green and gold
Just like the ancient stone
Every sun rise I know
Those eyes you gave to me
That let me see
Where I come from
