Heaven Sent
Spinn Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I really couldn′t do without you
God knows I wish that I could
I could stand to walk away now
I know for sure that I would

And you make me wanna scream you know that
And I kick and scratch back through your door
And you make me wanna cry you know that

And if i could i would for sure

So why don't you
And why don′t you

And I hope that you dont see me
When my lips are stained with wine
And i'm hoping you dont miss me
And I hope you're feeling fine

Do you ever think of me like I do?
Do you ever think of me at all?
If I could stand and walk to you now
I know I would for sure

So why wont you
And why don′t you

So buy me roses
Call me poser
Contradict me
I know you′ll miss me when i'm gone
And i′ll be gone before you know it
Dead flowers line the linens of my bed
I swear you're heaven sent
I swear you′re heaven sent

So buy me roses
Call me poser
Contradict me
I know you'll miss me when i′m gone
And i'll be gone before you know it
Dead flowers line the linens of my bed
I swear you're heaven sent
I swear you′re heaven sent

So why won′t you
And why don't you
So why won′t you
And why don't you
So why won′t you
And why don't you

So why won′t you
So why don't you
