Lyrics Fair - The Amazing Devil

Fair

It’s what my heart just yearns to say
In ways that can’t be said
It’s what my rotting bones will sing
When the rest of me is dead
It’s what’s engraved upon my heart
In letters deeply worn
Today I somehow understand the reason I was born
«'Cause outwardly,» he says «I try so hard to make you laugh at me,»
And she, she does, she laughs as though she´s not heard the joke ten thousand
times before
And he adores her, he watches her get dressed as though she’s hurtling through
time
«Oh, darling please be mine,»
She promises to fight them all when it all becomes too much
And he, he curses at the world for leaving him behind and he’s falling out of
touch
And she is stronger than he’s ever been, he knows
And she brushes her hand through his hair, he’s got so much fucking hair
And he holds her close just to keep the world at bay
And when they’re sure no-one can hear them
She’ll turn to him and say, she’ll turn to him and say
«It's not fair, it’s not fair how much I love you
It’s not fair, 'cause you make me laugh when I’m actually really fucking cross
at you for something,»
And he’ll say
«Oh how, oh how unreasonable
How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do
I spend my days so close to you 'cause if I’m standing here, maybe everyone
will think I’m alright,»
«I've seen enough,» he says, «I know exactly what I want
And it’s this life that we’ve created
Inundated with the fated thought of you
And if you asked me to, if you asked me I would lose it all
Like petals in a storm
'Cause darling I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades
At night when light is fading
Just to let you know I’m old, waylaid and feels like I am wading
Into carpet burns and carousels
Christ, you’ll be the death of me,»
And calm throughout his melodrama, she will turn and say
«Dear heart, it’s me, its me
You don’t need to pretend to be someone you’re not
'Cause it’s not like I’ve never heard you fart and snore
And for some godforsaken reason
I’m still here, love, like I’ve always been before,»
And he’ll say
«It's not fair, It’s not fair how much I love you
It’s not fair 'cause you make me weep when I’m just trying to watch The Office
with my yoghurt,»
And she’ll say
«Oh how, oh how unreasonable
How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do
I’ll spend my days so close to you 'cause if I’m standing here
Maybe everyone will think I’m cool,»
«How unfair, how unfair,» they’ll sing as they dance across the darling rooftop
wreck
He’ll trip and she’ll pretend not to have seen
Burying her head into his chest and clinging to the moment
«Where have you been?»
she’ll whisper
«I've waited oh so long for you to come»
And as the stars above them hum and hear them
He’ll turn to her and say, «That's what she said»
«It's not fair, it’s not fair how much I love you
It’s not fair 'cause you make me ache, you bastard,»
And they’ll say
«Oh how, oh how unreasonable
How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do
I’ll spend my days so close to you 'cause if I’m stood here
Then I’m stood here
And I’ll stand here
I’ll stand here with you»
