Joseph Arthur - Birthday card lyrics

rate me

She wrote her name with a heart

Inside his birthday card

Right beside the PS which read

Please don't think I'm devious

It's not that obvious

In fact it's more of a mess

You're what I find most beautiful

But you're also what makes me the ugliest

So i'm taking away all of the love

I ever gave to you

I think you should've known

It was only ever on a loan

And i'm running away

I found myself a hiding place

I've been uncomfortable looking in your eyes

They always see right through my face

And if you find your eyes

You hunt me down

'Cause if I find my eyes

I'll hunt you down

And if you find your voice

You hunt me down

'Cause if I find my voice

I'll hunt you down

He wrote his name with her heart

On the back of a postcard

Right beside the PS which read

Please don't think this is malicious

But ever since you left me I am a mess

You made me happiest

And now I'm lonely cause there was only you

Touching your skin was like a shovel through the ground

I had no idea what I found

A crown

You crown me king

Made me lion in your ring

Training me with your see-through treasure

And bribing me with your guilty pleasure

You teach me how most things have no measure
