Lullaby - The Courteeners

You walked over still hungover

From the night before

Those idiot girls were looking over

I don’t know what for

That vintage Chanel dress that you wore

Just accentuated the fact that your heart was sore

Like a dying rose, in the cold you froze

I’m holding the thorns on the floor

The night and day holds memories

But when I think of it now all I see

Is you at the back and you’re starting to cry

I wish I could have sung you a lullaby

But I can’t because I’m a mess, I’m too proud

I’m stubborn and I’m selfish and you know that I’m loud

I’m a fool who thinks he’s strong like Cassius Clay

I never ever listen to what anyone says

If you see your mother, tell her I still love her

But that letter was wrong, ill informed and I warned you

Please do not get the families involved

This world is me, around me I revolve

The night and day holds memories

But when I think of it now all I see

Is you at the back and you’re starting to cry

I wish I could have sung you a lullaby

But I can’t because I’m a mess, I’m too proud

I’m stubborn and I’m selfish and you know that I’m loud

I’m a fool who thinks he’s strong like Cassius Clay

I never ever listen to what anyone says

I’m with my friends, I’m on my own

I’m in a crowded bar, I’m on my own

I’m with everyone else, I’m on my own

It’s nobody’s fault but my own

I wish I could have sung you a lullaby

I wish I could have sung you a lullaby

I wish I could have sung you a lullaby

I wish I could have sung you a lullaby
