"Typical" lyrics - LAURA MARLING

Again I let jealousy blind me today
My oldest friend and I blew her away
Just a few kind words and all I could say
Was I've known you of ten years it feels like a day
And oh I watched her cry, torn apart at the hands of a child

And again I used arrogance as something to depend
And condemned all religion to pitiless end
And a politician's resonance rang through my mind
Patriotic in one sense the other just blind
Oh so many died, torn apart at the hands of a child

And I'll keep on going I've got nothing to lose
I gave up morals when I took up you
And it's boring to hear of another young truth
And what a typically shit thing to do

I was so shallow to the one man that'd stuck around
Sunk so low that I nearly drowned
And I screamed of his heart when he wasn't around
Consoled him recklessly, I knew you were down
Oh I watched him cry, a broken heart at the hands of a child

And I'll keep on going I've got nothing to lose
I gave up morals when I took up you
And its boring to hear of another young truth
And what a typically shit thing to do

I have felt heartbreak too and I know what it feels like
I have felt heartbreak now you can leave me alone right
I have felt loneliness and I know what it feels like

But I kept on going I had nothing to lose
And I gave up morals when I took up booze
And it's boring to hear of another young truth
And what a typically shit thing to do
