a cautionary tale (english) - laufey lyrics lyrics
lyrics + transcribed by austin menso
[intro]
oh heavens, hear my story
a cautionary tale
of how i came to be love
and how it, came to fail
[verse 1]
a first time, for lovers
a first time, an agony
the truths you will uncover
will knock you on your knees
[pre+chorus]
i gave it too much
i gave myself up
i lost sight of all my dignity
i’ve always been smart
my chameleon heart
took your draining personality
[chorus]
and gave it to me
i wanted to please you
this performance of a lifetime
my heart, do you hand it
you took it for granted
and made me the villain all along
[verse 2]
i struggle, through the winter
found cheat codes, to your soul
was born to bе a giver
destined to pay thе toll
[pre+chorus]
i gave it too much
i gave myself up
i lost sight of all my dignity
i’ve always been smart
my chameleon heart
took your draining personality
[chorus]
and gave it to me
i wanted to please you
this performance of a lifetime
my heart, do you hand it
you took it for granted
and made me the villain all +
[bridge]
inside you, there’s a guiltless child
who never saw his mother smile
a boy, who had no sense of home
believes he’s better off alone
who coils up, in jealousy
to mask his insecurities
and i can’t fix you
god, i tried
the hourglass i shattered
just in time
[outro]
i gave it too much
i gave myself up
i lost sight of all my dignity
one more love affair’s
cautionary tales
continue to happen to me
