I Got Soul
Luella and the Sun Lyrics

I wrote you a million songs
I tried expressing my love through music, but none of them felt right.

But I hated every single one
I disliked every single song I created for you.

I've tried on every coat
I tried to find a love that feels like yours by trying out every possible option.

But they just don't feel the same as you
None of these options feel as real and genuine as the love I shared with you.

You were the first thought when I woke
You were the initial thought that came to my mind when I woke up every day.

But now I wake up alone
But now I wake up without you next to me every morning.

So feed me your skins
Give me a glimpse of what it feels like to be loved by you again.

I was yours to begin
I was yours from the beginning, and I still am.

I'd let you do it all over again
I'd let you love me once more, even if it meant facing heartbreak again.

Out of all my lovers, you're the one that got away
You're the one person I loved the most but couldn't keep.

You're the one I can't outrun
No matter how much time passes or how hard I try, I can't forget about you.

You're the reason that I'm still undone
Your absence has left me incomplete and hurting.

And I can't blame you now, 'cause it's my fault you didn't stay
I can't continue to blame you for leaving because I know I played a part in it too.

Take me back to stolen calls
Take me back to the earlier days when we would secretly talk on the phone.

Over the phone I was yours
Through those phone calls, I belonged to you completely.

(I was yours)
I belonged to you entirely.

I asked about your future
I was interested in knowing about your dreams and aspirations.

Yeah you seemed so sure
You appeared confident and certain about your future goals.

Two little kids playing dress-up in their parents' clothes
We were two young, innocent people trying to navigate the complexities of a relationship.

I'd let you screw me all over again
I'd let you love me all over again, even if it meant dealing with the pain of losing you again.

In that park that was a stone's throw from my home
In that park that was very close to where I lived.

Oh, Januarys never felt that quite so warm
I remember that day in January feeling warmer because of the love we shared.

You pulled me in and said, "I'll never let you go"
You held me close and promised to never let me go.

Baby, I'm such a fool, not for believin' you
I'm a fool for not believing in your promise to me.

But for believin' that I'd ever forget you
But for thinking that I could ever forget the love we shared.

Oh it's been two years now, still haven't gotten past that day
Even after two years, I still haven't moved on from the day you left me.

(I'm still undone)
I'm still incomplete without you.

And I can't blame you now, 'cause it's my fault you didn't stay
I can't keep blaming you for leaving because I know I played a role in it too.

Oh, when will I be done?
I wonder when I'll finally be able to heal from the pain of losing you.
