V You Never Looked Like This by The Venetia Fair Lyrics
(Verse 1)
I find it curious
How you could think that you could walk
Into our house and look around and find
The same pathetic man you broke when you left
Did you think I wouldn't heal?
Well I'm here bandaged up
Like they stitched me back together
(Pre-Chorus)
I'm fine, come inside
Get comfortable but sleeping dogs must lie
And I've been spending all my time
Perfecting my finest work
(Chorus)
But god knows I wanted to find you
'Cause I'd forgotten the color of your lips
Now that you're finally here
I swear they never looked like this
And I'm sure you've got so much to tell me
But I can barely recognize your face
Up until you left you never looked like this
(Verse 2)
I know my humors have aged in this place
Is my blood brown within these veins?
Prematurely changing shades when its applied like carmine dye
How'd you think that you would feel
When she's here painted up like she's every perfect memory of mine
(Pre-Chorus)
I'm fine, come inside
Get comfortable but sleeping dogs must lie
And I've been spending all my time
Perfecting my finest work
(Chorus)
But god knows I wanted to find you
'Cause I'd forgotten the color of your lips
Now that you're finally here
I swear they never looked like this
And I'm sure you've got so much to tell me
But I can barely recognize your face
Up until you left you never looked like this
(Bridge)
And oh god, I barely recognize your face
My god, I was sure there was nothing more beautiful
(Oh god what happened to you)
I barely recognize your face
My god, I would never have dared compare her to you
But I'm sure you never looked like this
Leave me here would you lock that door when you go
(Chorus)
But god knows I wanted to find you
'Cause I'd forgotten the color of your lips
Now that you're finally here
I swear
I could swear they never looked like this
But I wanted to find you
But I can barely, I barely, recognize you
Until you left, until you left
Up until you left, you never looked like this!
I find it curious
How you could think that you could walk
Into our house and look around and find
The same pathetic man you broke when you left
Did you think I wouldn't heal?
Well I'm here bandaged up
Like they stitched me back together
(Pre-Chorus)
I'm fine, come inside
Get comfortable but sleeping dogs must lie
And I've been spending all my time
Perfecting my finest work
(Chorus)
But god knows I wanted to find you
'Cause I'd forgotten the color of your lips
Now that you're finally here
I swear they never looked like this
And I'm sure you've got so much to tell me
But I can barely recognize your face
Up until you left you never looked like this
(Verse 2)
I know my humors have aged in this place
Is my blood brown within these veins?
Prematurely changing shades when its applied like carmine dye
How'd you think that you would feel
When she's here painted up like she's every perfect memory of mine
(Pre-Chorus)
I'm fine, come inside
Get comfortable but sleeping dogs must lie
And I've been spending all my time
Perfecting my finest work
(Chorus)
But god knows I wanted to find you
'Cause I'd forgotten the color of your lips
Now that you're finally here
I swear they never looked like this
And I'm sure you've got so much to tell me
But I can barely recognize your face
Up until you left you never looked like this
(Bridge)
And oh god, I barely recognize your face
My god, I was sure there was nothing more beautiful
(Oh god what happened to you)
I barely recognize your face
My god, I would never have dared compare her to you
But I'm sure you never looked like this
Leave me here would you lock that door when you go
(Chorus)
But god knows I wanted to find you
'Cause I'd forgotten the color of your lips
Now that you're finally here
I swear
I could swear they never looked like this
But I wanted to find you
But I can barely, I barely, recognize you
Until you left, until you left
Up until you left, you never looked like this!
