Unloveable Lyrics
Babybird
Lyrics
I've tried
And you've tried
You've cried
And I've cried
I've lied
And you've lied
Together we've died
But sometimes
Sometimes it gotta stop
I'm cold when you're cold
I'm warm when you're warm
We were friends
We're still friends
That's all
That's all
That's all
You can't love me
I'm unloveable
But baby you could try
It's all good, it's not bad
It's all smiles, it's not sad
There's just time to stop love
Love's gone, move on
Life's long
You can't love me
I'm unloveable
But baby you could try
Sha la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la
Sha la
Love's so sweet it suffocates us
Like a sickly kindly gag
And we're floating down the sewer pipe
Like kittens in a bag
And the mirror screams to both of us
That we are not alone
Then the metaphors explode
And suddenly we're home
You can't love me
I'm unloveable
But baby you could try
I can't love you
You're so loveable
But baby let me try
You can't love me
I'm unloveable
But baby you could try
I can't love you
You're so loveable
But baby let me try
