LordeLyrics of David by Lorde
O, dark day
Was I just someone to dominate?
Worthy opponent, flint to my blade, now we′re playing with shadows
At the Sunset Tower, you said open your mouth
I did
And what came spilling out that day was the truth
If I’d had virginity, I would have given that too
Why do we run to the ones we do?
I don′t belong to anyone
O, dark day
Was I just young blood to get on tape?
Cause you dimed me out when it got hard
Uppercut to the throat, I was off guard
Pure heroine mistaken for featherweight
But what came spilling out that day was the truth
And once I could sing again, I swore I’d never let myself sing again for you
Said why do we run to the ones we do?
I don’t belong to anyone
I made you God cause it was all that I knew how to do
But I don′t belong to anyone
Am I ever gon love again?
Am I ever gon love again?
Am I ever gon love again?
(Tell it to the rock doves, sing it to the fountain, til you understand)
Tell it to em
