Drake
Gibbons Beth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turning now she caught his eye

For all he knows he cannot see

Pleasures smolder inside

Cover seasons that fell from view long ago
Blame on your heart

But then you know that now

What do you do, you hide lies inside

Why do you do that, I don't know why

How long did I know you for

I don't know why you had to go

If only you had told her

The words to enfold her long ago

She took a breath and she never spoke

The words tasted like

To know she told a matinee

There was an odor [Inaudible] anyway

But you can take and you can see

There's never enough of love for destiny

Don't look back from day to day

What I noticed wasn't me

Strangers, they'll part again

They'll never know

For all the years they've disguised inside

Knowing their years of loss remain

How long did I know you for

I don't know why you had to go

If only you had told her





The words to enfold her long ago

Turning now she caught his eye
For all he knows he cannot see
Pleasures smolder inside
Cover seasons that fell from view
Long ago
Blame on your heart
But then you know that now
What do you do
You hide lies inside
Why do you do that
I don't know why
How long did I know you
For I don't know why you had to go
If only you had told her
The words to enfold her
Long ago
She took a breath and she never spoke
The words that tasted like to know she told a matinee
There was an odor anyway
But you can take and you can see
There's never enough of love for destiny
Don't look back from day to day
What I noticed wasn't me
Strangers they'll part again
They'll never know
For all the years they've disguised inside
Knowing their years of loss remain
How long did I know you
For I don't know why you had to go
If only you had told her
The words to enfold her
Long ago
