Let Alone The One You Love

Lyrics of Let Alone The One You Love by Olivia Dean

Thought I was done with this feeling
Really thought you could be him
Thought I was safe, hmm
You were the warmth that I needed
Like a breeze in the evening
And then you changed
You′re all the same, yeah

It’s too much to mend
You′re the hug that had to end
Though I’ve tried to hold on
And if you knew me at all
You wouldn’t try to keep me small
Who would do that to a friend
Let alone the one you love?

And any choice you had worth making
I′d push you to take it
No questions asked, no doubt in mind
But when they′re mine, yeah
You react like I’m crossing a line
I′m too much to handle and just dial it back a bit
Well, well, I’m not having it, babe

It′s too much to mend
You’re the hug that had to end
Though I′ve tried to hold on
And if you knew me at all
You wouldn’t try to keep me small, mm
Who would do that to a friend
Let alone the one you love?
