Lyrics Laura Marling

Laura Marling

Strange

I know you love your children

I know you love your wife

I know you set yourself up

For the simple life

You get it all and you realise

you haven't opened up your eyes

Since you were young

And it's so bright

When you try to take it all in

and realise you can't begin again

You wonder how you keep movin

I can offer you so little help

But just accept the hands you've been dealt

Do your best to be a good man

Do you know how hard that is

Do you know how

Strange life can be

Well you love me and I know that

We can't let a precious thing go

I don't love you like you love me

I'm pretty sure that you know

Just try and bring meaning to all things

And when you try to take it in

No one wants to be alone

But should you fall in love with me

Your love becomes my responsibility

And I can never do you wrong

Do you know how hard that is

Do you know how

Strange I love you

Hurts

No I do not believe

we were born equally

Wanna know what I see?

Those who do good will be

treated accordingly

I know you love your children

I know you love your wife

I know you set yourself up

To live the simple life

You've got it all and you realise

You haven't opened up those eyes

Since you were young

And it's so bright

But if you try to take it all in

and realise you can't begin again

You must keep movin

I can offer you so little help

But just accept the hands you've been dealt

And do your best to be a good man

Do you know how hard that is

Yes I know how

Strange life can be
