Karaoké The Writer Ellie Goulding

You wait for a silence

I wait for words

Lie next to your frame to go unobserved

You change your position and you're changing me

Casting these shadows where they shouldn't be

We're interrupted by the heat of the sun

Trying to prevent what's already begun

You're just a body

I can smell your skin

And when I feel it you're wearing thin but I've got a plan

Why don't you be the artist and make me out of clay

Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say

'Cos I'd rather pretend

I'll still be there at the end

Only it's too hard to ask won't you try to help me

Sat on your sofa it's all broken springs

This isn't the place for those violin strings

I try out a smile and I aim it at you

You must have missed it you always do but I've got a plan

Why don't you be the artist and make me out of clay

Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say

'Cos I'd rather pretend

I'll still be there in the end

Only it's too hard to ask won't you try to help me

You wait, I wait casting shadows interrupted

You wait, I wait casting shadows interrupted

You wait, I wait casting shadows interrupted

You wait, I wait casting shadows...

Why don't you be the artist and make me out of clay

Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say

'Cos I'd rather pretend

I'll still be there in the end

Only it's too hard to ask won't you try to help me

Why don't you be the artist and make me out of clay

Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say

'Cos I'd rather pretend

I'll still be there in the end

Only it's too hard to ask won't you try to help me
