Lay My Cards

from Blood Vessel by Lauren Young

/

lyrics

Is that look in your eye especially reserved for me
Or d'ya carry it with ya for every woman who seems real
All the drunk late night calls and stupid poems we exchange
I seem to not know how or understand how you feel anymore

Do you think we could be lovers
What if we're dying quicker than before
And the clock strikes before our time
Would we be satisfied you weren't mine

So you stick to what you know
Making love beneath the stars
Whilst I search high and low for the one to raise the bar

Lay my cards upon the table
And say sorry to you, baby
This is no ultimatum
But it's the only way I know

I'm a catalyst of destruction, but who are you to fight the urge
Shall we just bathe in denial and then disguise it all with words
Spill my blood on old Joanna, you'll never wash those stains away
And I think you understand how I am losing my mind, all the time

So we stroll down empty streets
Without a care for anyone
Well that's at least what we tell our friends
Cos god forbid we'd fall in love

So you stick to what you know
Making love beneath the stars
Whilst I search high and low for the one to raise the bar

Lay my cards upon the table
And say sorry to you, baby
This is no ultimatum
But it's the only way I know

I said it's the only way I know
It's the only way I know
