lyrics from the 2012 lana del rey album. contains cussing & some mature themes. edit wording as need be <3
oh, my heart, it breaks every step that i take
can you make it feel like home if i tell you you’re mine?
sometimes love is not enough
the road is long, we carry on, try to have fun in the meantime
tried to take what i could get, scared that i couldn’t find all the answers i need
‘cause you and i, we were born to die
but i can’t deny the way he holds my hand, and he grabs me, he has me by my heart
he loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart
i need you to come here and save me
and he shows me, he knows me, every inch of my tar black soul
he doesn’t mind i have a flat, broke-down life
i’m not afraid to say that i’d die without him. who else is gonna put up with me this way?
i need you, i breathe you, i’d never leave you
i love you forever, not maybe, you are my one true love
but you fit me better than my favorite sweater
and i know that love is mean, and love hurts
i still remember that day we met in december
i will love you ‘till the end of time
baby, can you see through the tears?
love you more than those bitches before
when you walked out that door, a piece of me died
i just want it like before, we were dancing all night
Expand
i’m in his favorite sundress, watching me get undressed
it’s you, it’s all for you, everything i do
heaven is a place on earth with you
only worth living if somebody is loving you
singin’ in the old bars, swinging with the old stars
kissin’ in the blue dark, playing pool and wild darts
he holds me in his big arms, drunk and i am seeing stars
do you think we’ll be in love forever?
take another drag, turn me to ashes
let’s take jesus off the dashboard, got enough on his mind
we both know what we’re here for
you’re no good for me, but baby, i want you
wind in my hair, hand on the back of my neck
summer’s in the air, and baby, heaven’s in your eyes
you can’t keep your hands off me or your pants on
it’s a love story for the new age
we’re on a quick, sick rampage
excessive buying, overdose and dying
blurring the lines between real and fake
money is the anthem of success
all my friends tell me i should move on
loving you forever can’t be wrong
even though you’re not here, won’t move on
there’s no remedy for memory
your soul is haunting me and telling me that everything is fine, but i wish i was dead
every time i close my eyes, it’s like a dark paradise
i’m scared that you won’t be waiting on the other side
when you find true love, it lives on
there’s no you, except in my dreams tonight
i don’t wanna wake up from this tonight
there’s no relief, i see you in my sleep
i feel you in my dreams, telling me i’m fine
their heavy words can’t bring me down
i’ve been raised from the dead
no one even knows how hard life was
i don’t even think about it now because i finally found you
i swore i’d chase ‘em until i was dead
doesn’t have a problem lying to herself ‘cause her liquor’s top shelf
fooling everyone, telling them she’s having fun
you don’t wanna be like me, don’t wanna see all the things i’ve seen, i’m dying
you don’t wanna be like me, lookin’ for fun, gettin’ high for free, i’m dying
she gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes
baby’s all dressed up with nowhere to go
relying on the kindness of strangers
holding me tight in our final hour
someone as dangerous, tainted and flawed as you
how did you get that way?
you’re screwed up and brilliant
kiss me hard before you go
i just wanted you to know that baby, you’re the best
dancin’ in the dark, in the pale moonlight
oh, my god, i feel it in the air
honey, i’m on fire, i feel it everywhere
nothing scares me anymore
i’m feeling electric to ight
got my bad baby by my heavenly side
i know if i go, i’ll die happy tonight
think i’ll miss you forever, like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky
later’s better than never
THIS IS WHAT MAKES US GIRLS
remember how we used to party up all night?
we all look for heaven, and we put love first
something that we’d die for, it’s a curse
don’t cry about it, don’t cry about it
this is what makes us girls
don’t cry about him, don’t cry about him
and that’s where the beginning of the end begun
crying ‘cause i know i’m never coming back
