Gretta Ray Lyrics
London knows me in a way that nowhere else does
Sees me at my strongest, and when I’m lost
London shows me who I am and who I once was
When my head and heart both have their wires crossed
London, hold me as I’m coming down from this high
He’s all I’ve ever known, but then again I won’t deny that
This has heralded a shift within me during this time
What I have come to find is that no matter what I might have to leave behind
There’s growth in falling apart, there’s laughter between the darker moments, romance in the loneliness
There’s hope in this broken heart, dancing amidst the disaster of it all
Crumbling then crawling back to who I was before
I’m crying out for the cure
I awake each day to feel the weight of the change
Heavy on my chest, and try to embrace it
As I make my way toward the underground train
Swear I see his face amongst all these strangers
Love is a ruthless thing, but it won’t dare to render me unless
Bruises show resilience, let brilliance override and agony subside
There’s growth in falling apart, there’s laughter between the darker moments, romance in the loneliness
There’s hope in this broken heart, dancing amidst the disaster of it all
Crumbling then crawling back to who I was before
I’m crying out for the cure
Maybe I’m okay without your advice
Guess that our old ways are no longer right
I’m missing you like mad, no I don’t need to think twice
But there’s more to this limited life than hoping you’ll leave on the light
There’s growth in falling apart, there’s laughter between the darker moments, romance in the loneliness
There’s hope in this broken heart, dancing amidst the disaster of it all
Crumbling then crawling back to who I was before
I’m crying out for the cure
Sees me at my strongest, and when I’m lost
London shows me who I am and who I once was
When my head and heart both have their wires crossed
London, hold me as I’m coming down from this high
He’s all I’ve ever known, but then again I won’t deny that
This has heralded a shift within me during this time
What I have come to find is that no matter what I might have to leave behind
There’s hope in this broken heart, dancing amidst the disaster of it all
Crumbling then crawling back to who I was before
I’m crying out for the cure
I awake each day to feel the weight of the change
Heavy on my chest, and try to embrace it
As I make my way toward the underground train
Swear I see his face amongst all these strangers
Love is a ruthless thing, but it won’t dare to render me unless
Bruises show resilience, let brilliance override and agony subside
There’s growth in falling apart, there’s laughter between the darker moments, romance in the loneliness
There’s hope in this broken heart, dancing amidst the disaster of it all
Crumbling then crawling back to who I was before
I’m crying out for the cure
Maybe I’m okay without your advice
Guess that our old ways are no longer right
I’m missing you like mad, no I don’t need to think twice
But there’s more to this limited life than hoping you’ll leave on the light
There’s growth in falling apart, there’s laughter between the darker moments, romance in the loneliness
There’s hope in this broken heart, dancing amidst the disaster of it all
Crumbling then crawling back to who I was before
I’m crying out for the cure
