Cupid Missed His Mark
by nina simone
Disenchanting and contagious
when we think that we're in love
Superfluous, disengaging
when we think we are in love
pointless words
when it comes to push and shove
we're just kids in grown up bodies, right?
I am right aren't I?
we thought we were in love
when we think that we're in love
Superfluous, disengaging
when we think we are in love
pointless words
when it comes to push and shove
we're just kids in grown up bodies, right?
I am right aren't I?
we thought we were in love
this love is the tie that binds
the noose around our neck
this love is the tie that binds
the noose around our neck
the noose around our neck
this love is the tie that binds
the noose around our neck
You created me to love
so much deeper than that
please let me fall again
I'll never come back
so much deeper than that
please let me fall again
I'll never come back
we can fall, just one time
it still hurts in rewind
You can heal broken hearts
and replace with spare parts
it still hurts in rewind
You can heal broken hearts
and replace with spare parts
I keep my heart in my pocket
it's weighing my shirt down
bleeding through the fabric
and bursting with the sound
it's weighing my shirt down
bleeding through the fabric
and bursting with the sound
what if my heart beats too fast
I'm longing for
your still small voice
your still small voice
I'm longing for
your still small voice
your still small voice
veins bloom with blue like roadmaps
we fell against, against our will
what if my capillaries won't stand and lapse
we fell against, against our will
we fell against, against our will
what if my capillaries won't stand and lapse
we fell against, against our will
honestly honestly
won't you say those things to me?
get on your horse and ride
won't you say those things to me?
get on your horse and ride
