Owen Pallett - Took You Two Years to Win My Heart lyrics

rate me

took you two years to win my heart

then two words to break it

the love you ignited,

you firefighted and roared

ellowing into the rainy night

they say heartbreak is good for the skin

but all that it's helped is my drinking

picking fights with myself and my friends

and my friends threatening to do me in

took you two years to win my heart

then two words to break it

more surprising than two years of lying

is how people let you get away with it

saturday sleep-ins with no distractions

summer sun and songbirds

once kept afloat on a venetian boat

blotted out by your two words

mighty leon, wind the tape

and be sure of one thing

every song from a heart this mangled

will be draped in strings, strings, strings
