Laura Marling - Typically Shit

 

Again I let jealousy blind me today
My oldest friend, and I blew her away
Just a few kind words, and all I could say
Was 'I've known you, what, 10 years and it feels like a day"

And I watched her cry
Torn apart at the hands of a child

And again I used arrogance as something to depend
And condemned all religion to a pitiless end
And a politician?s resonance ran through my mind
Patriotic in one sense, the other just blind

And oh so many die
Torn apart at the hands of a child
And I keep on going, I?ve got nothing to lose
I gave up morals when I took up you
And it's boring to hear of another young truth
What a typically shit thing to do

And I was so shallow to the one man that stuck around
Sunk so low that I nearly drowned
And I screamed of his heart when he wasn't around
Consoled him recklessly, I knew you were down
And I watched him cry
A broken heart at the hands of a child

And I'll keep on going, I?ve got nothing to lose
And I gave up morals when I took up you
And it's boring to hear of another young truth
What a typically shit thing to do

Now I have felt heartbreak too and I know what it feels like
Now I have felt heartbreak now you can leave me alone, right
And I have felt loneliness and I know what it feels like

But I kept on going, I had nothing to lose
And I gave up morals when I took up booze
And it?s boring to hear of another young truth
What a typically shit thing to do
