Lyrics
It’s what my heart just yearns to say In ways that can’t be said It’s what my rotting bones will sing When the rest of me is dead

It’s what’s engraved upon my heart In letters deeply worn Today I somehow understand the reason I was born

Cos outwardly he says I try so hard to make you laugh at me And she, she does, she laughs as though she not heard the joke ten thousand times before And he adores her, he watches her get dressed as though she’s hurtling through time Oh darling please be mine

She promises to fight them all when it all becomes too much And he, he curses at the world for leaving him behind and he’s falling out of touch And she is stronger than he’s ever been he knows And she brushes her hand through his hair, he’s got so much fucking hair

And he holds her close just to keep the world at bay And when they’re sure no-one can hear them She’ll turn to him to say, she’ll turn to him and say

It’s not fair, It’s not fair how much I love you It’s not fair, cos you make me laugh when I’m actually really fucking cross at you for something And he’ll say Oh how oh how unreasonable How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do I’ll spend my days so close to you cos if I’m standing here maybe everyone will think I’m alright

I’ve seen enough he says I know exactly what I want And it’s this life that we’ve created, inundated with the fated thought of you And if you asked me to, if you asked me I would lose it all Like petals in a storm, cos darling I was born

To press my head between your shoulder blades at night when light is fading Just to let you know I’m old, waylaid and feels like I am wading into carpet burns and carousels oh Christ you’ll be the death of me And calm throughout his melodrama she will turn and say ‘dear heart It’s me, it's me You don’t need to pretend to be someone you’re not Cos it’s not like I’ve never heard you fart and snore And for some god forsaken reason I’m still here love like I’ve always been before And he’ll say

It’s not fair, It's not fair how much I love you It’s not fair cos you make me weep when I’m just trying to watch The Office with my yoghurt And she’ll say Oh how, oh how unreasonable How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do I’ll spend my days so close to you cos if I’m standing next to you then maybe everyone will think I’m cool

How unfair, how unfair they’ll sing as they dance across the darling rooftop wreck He’ll trip and she’ll pretend not to have seen, Burying her head into his chest and clinging to the moment, ‘where have you been?’ She’ll whisper ‘I’ve waited oh so long for you to come’ And as the stars above them hum and hear them he’ll turn to her and say ‘that’s what she said’

It’s not fair, it's not fair how much I love you It’s not fair cos you make me ache you bastard And he’ll say Oh how, oh how unreasonable How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do I’ll spend my days so close to you cos if I’m stood here Then I’m stood here And I’ll stand here I’ll stand here with you
