Lyrics : Danny L Harle/Florence Welch
Music : Danny L Harle/Florence Welch
Memory fails me, names and faces blur
There is only after or before
Am I so different?
Have I changed?
I do not recognise my face
The scar fades, it pulls inside tugging at me all the time
Chewing on a feeling and spitting it out
Crushed in a ballgown
Anxious and ashamed
The vague humiliations of fame
I do not find worthiness a virtue
I no longer try to be good
It didn't keep me safe, like you told me that it would
So come on tear me wide open
A terrible gift
Let the chorus console me
Sympathy magic
And a light coming in the window just so
And the wind through my fingers
The only God that I know
And it does not want me on my knees to believe
Head high, arms wide
Aching, aching, aching and alive and alive
So I don't have to be worthy
I no longer try to be good
It didn't keep me safe like you told me that it would
So come on tear me wide open
Till I'm losing my mind
Till I cannot contain it
La-da-la-da-da-da-da
So come on, come on I can take it
Give me everything you've got
What else, what else, what else, what else?
So come on, come on I can take it
Give me everything you've got
What else, what else, what else, what else?
Sympathy magic, sympathy magic
So come on, come on, I can take it
Sympathy magic
Sympathy magic
So come on, come on, I can take it
Come on, come on, come on
Sympathy magic, sympathy magic
So come on, come on, come on, come on sympathy magic
So come on, come on, come on, come on sympathy magic
