Love Don’t Live Here - Bastille ft. Bastille, Jonas Jalhay, WYNNE (Producer), F.Stokes

You abandoned me, love don't live here anymore

Just a vacancy, love don't live here anymore

When you lived inside of me

There was nothing I could conceive

That you wouldn't do for me

Trouble seemed so far away

You changed that right away, baby

You abandoned me, love don't live here anymore

Just a vacancy, love don't live here anymore

Love don't live here anymore

Just emptiness and memories of what we had before

Ah, before you went away

Found another place to stay, another home

You abandoned me, love don't live here anymore

Just a vacancy, love don't live here anymore

In the windmill of my eyes

Everyone can see the loneliness inside of me

Why'd you have to go away?

Don't you know I miss you so and need your love?

You abandoned me, love don't live here anymore

You abandoned me, love don't live here anymore

Love don't live here

And if you break my heart, then blood's gonna spill here

Just a vacancy, love don't live here anymore

I said, love don't live here

And if you break my heart, then blood's gonna spill here

Daddy was a preacher, Mama had the features of an angel

Born in Oklahoma to an Anglo whose Anglo

Was pimping like a Klango in the cutlass backseat window

I do this for my kid folk

Who saw Katrina hit and said, BBut goddamn it, have we been broke

Scribes for the king and please send my pleasantries to the local peasantries

But although we live in hell, we can still dream heavily"

(Don't live here, don't live here anymore)

Scholar's a felon, ain't no telling, fella!

He told me I wasn't shit, I had to show him better

Poetic like a letter from my mistress who after my performance in Paris 12 district

Wrote in broken English in a match book

"You are terrific and your style was godly amazing!"

Signed with pink-stained lips and a chocolate she was saving

And that note, I kept, it wept

On the metro station steps, not giving a fuck about who saw me

For my bravery just applaud me, but love don't live here

And if you break my heart, then blood's gonna spill here

You abandoned me, love don't live here anymore

Love don't live here

And if you break my heart, then blood's gonna spill here

Just a vacancy, love don't live here anymore

Love don't live here

And if you break my heart, then blood's gonna spill here

Oh, I'll see you in the future

When we're old and when we're full of stories to be told

Cross my heart and hope to die

See you with your laughter lines

I'll see you there

You abandoned me, love don't live here anymore

Love don't live here

And if you break my heart, then blood's gonna spill here

Just a vacancy, love don't live here anymore

Love don't live here

And if you break my heart, then blood's gonna spill here

I'll see you in the future when we're older

And we are full of stories to be told

Cross my heart and hope to die

I'll see you with your laughter lines
