    Lentil

    by: Sia

    Well you were waiting for me, you saw me, adored me
    As I wish the whole world would
    You would never hurt me, desert me or work me
    For all the things you thought you could
    Yeah you would lick the tears from my eyes when I cried
    Oh how I missed you when I was gone
    Hurt me so to leave you, deceive you, I needed you, I believed in you
    Oh I, I never meant to let you down
    I?ll wait with a stake in my heart
    I never meant to put you down
    I?m trying not to fall apart
    Now all I have is riches and pictures and stitches
    Money could never buy what you gave
    And though my heart is aching and breaking I?m making
    The most of what you send my way
    Now I want just to hold you, unfold you, I told you
    See I am coming back for you
    Yeah I know we will be ok every day
    The sun shines a little brighter
    Oh I, I never meant to let you down
    I?ll wait with a stake in my heart
    I never meant to put you down
    I?m trying not to fall apart
    I never meant to let you down
    I wait with a stake in my heart
    I never meant to put you down
    I?m trying not to fall apart
    Yeah, I?m trying not to fall apart
    We?ll reunite, oh we?ll set alight
    I?m wishing with all of my might
    Oh no, I never meant to let you down
    (I wait with a stake in my heart)
    I never meant to put you down
    I'm tryin' not to fall apart
    I never meant to let you down
    (I wait with a stake in my heart)
    I never meant to put you down
