Toluca Lake - Laura Lyrics

You said I'm vile with only your eyes
I've been toxic; I left you behind

I see you're tired of me and everything I create
It's everything I lack

But I know that this is bad
And all I see is that our bed is haunted
I cannot look back

Leave a light on when you go
I spent a lifetime letting myself know

The body that betrays me has been pushing you away
The devil in my bloodstream has his eyes on everything

I am I and I have nothing left for you to take
I would lie and steal if I was sure it kept you safe

Leave a light on when you go; don't leave me in the dark
I spent a lifetime letting go, but it was never quite this hard

All along I always had believed you
And all along it wasn't what you said
You gave me peace of mind to forget
And filled my head with every second guess
Heaven knows we got it wrong

And it's a shame we kept our back to the sun when it was shining
We could not look up

It's like the feeling in my body when I saw you die
In my weak and underwhelming arms

Leave a light on when you go; don't leave me in the dark
I spent a lifetime letting go, but it was never quite this hard

All along I always had believed you
And all along it wasn't what you said
You gave me peace of mind to forget
And filled my head with every second guess
Heaven knows we got it wrong

Yeah, we got it wrong

My broken body shivers with every word you say (we got it wrong)
Just when I thought I had regained my strength
I never mattered anyway

We got it wrong
Heaven knows we got it wrong
