You left me with England Lyrics

Now the bells have stopped ringing

But then they never did

When I think of you standing; your hand on my ribs

I no longer love England 'cause I loved you the way that I did

Though it couldn't have happened I prayed that it would

She was sat at the table with the bottles and beverage soaked wood

You said that you'd try to but you never could

And you never would

Do you think of that midnight

Or the trains to the south?

Do you think of my black hair

Or my fingers bleeding in your mouth?

You left me with England

But I know I left you with a taste in your mouth

Do you think of me fondly when you're lost in your head?

When you can't speak the language or when you find a bed?

You left me with England and I love you but I wish you were dead

I never wanted this, I wanted you

House by the river, a room with a view

Blinded by how much I thought this was true

I hate the fact despite all of this: I still miss you

The blue in your eyes

Your delicious lies

The suffering silence and sweet lonely nights

Couldn't tell me"no"

'Cause deep down you know

This was just escapism for you so I think you should go

They keep building them bombs while our country is starving

All I can do is watch the statues they're carving

And every man marching looks exactly like you

What do I do?

Still looking for you

Lost in the forest, the flag flies again

Burning the witches and the feathered men

Gave me false hope with your paper and pen

You left me with England and you'll never see me again

Nothing can touch you and it makes me scream

You never backed the imperial dream

And no son of your mother comes home with his life

So I'll love you and leave you and miss you for the rest of my life

I pulled you in

Tied you to me with the flimsiest string

I'm not your girl

You're not my king

You left me with England but not without a song to sing
