THE LAST SHADOW PUPPETS LYRICS - Black Plant

"Black Plant"



He bit your lip

And on the tip

Of your tongue

Was your view

The heavy belt

With how you felt

In ways

That tilted you



The paper cuts

From the love letter

You never gave him

Could not meet

Your new found meat

A misbehaving lie



Why

Why would you say sorry

Oh, why would you say

Why would you say



You said there

Was a nagging lack of smiles

Went dancing on your back

Tenderness a plenty book

That wasn't what you craved

His whole thin heart desire

Start to make demands

And he adored you

Would be a fool

To make your plans with her



Why would you say sorry

Oh, why would you

Why would you say sorry

Oh, why would you say sorry

Oh, why would you



When it's just one

Of many bullets

You will bite

While waiting

For a ray of light

Waiting

For a ray of light

Waiting

For a ray of light



The paper cuts

From the love letter

You never gave him

Could not meet

Your new found meat

A misbehaving lie



Why

Why would you say sorry

Oh, why would you

Why would you say sorry

Oh, why would you say sorry

Oh, why would you

Why would you say sorry
