New Romantic - Laura Marling

I know I said I loved you but I’m thinking I was wrong,

I’m the first to admit that I’m still pretty young,

and I never meant to hurt you when I wrote you ten love songs.

but a guy that I could never get 'cause his girlfriend was pretty fit

and everyone who knew her loves her so.

and I made you leave her for me and now I’m feeling pretty mean,

but my mind has fucked me over more times than any man could ever know.

Maybe I should give up, give in,

give up trying to be thin,

give up and turn into my mother,

god knows I love her.

and I’m sorry to which ever man should meet my sorry state,

watch my steady lonesome gait and be aware.

I would never love a man 'cause love and pain go hand in hand

and I can’t do it again.

So we stayed up late one night to try and get our problems right,

but I couldn’t get into his head just what was going through my mind,

and I think he knew where I was going

he put Ryan Adams on I think he thinks it makes me weak

it only ever makes me strong.

I’ve got this friend who sounds just like him,

he’s the man I’d leave you for, the man that I just adore like you.

The same man, he turns to me he said «I've got to tell you how i feel,

if god could make the perfect girl for me it would be you»

my god told me not tell about how much do you love your fella.

I don’t know more everyday

not in this new romantic way.

I’ll always be your first love, you’ll always be my first love.

But I’m sorry to which ever man should meet my sorry state

watch my steady lonesome gait and be aware,

I will never love a man 'cause love and pain go hand in hand and I can’t do it again,

I will never love a man 'cause I could never hurt a man,

not in this new romantic way.
