Raspberry Layer Cake · letra

Verse 1

I've been sad and I've been broke That people call me a joke I've done wrong and I've done right Lost every will to fight I've been searching for what love is Is it a story written for me? Is it alive or barely breathing? Is it this very song I'm singing?

Chorus

Or a raspberry layer cake When no one else gives a damn Staying out way too late Playing every card you have Is learning to fly learning to walk Starting over again When everything you have is taken away Like a lie on your wedding day

Verse 2

I walk with a limp and my legs are bowed I was born that way though I wasn't sure I was made a bastard son By an outlaw father who collected guns I've been hoping for love to fill A hole left in me, it's growing deeper still Playing records and singing songs Begging the crowd to sing along

Chorus

Or a raspberry layer cake When no one else gives a damn Staying out way too late Playing every card you have Is learning to fly learning to walk Starting over again When everything you have is taken away Like a lie on your wedding day

Bridge

A lie on your wedding day Lie on your wedding day Lie on your wedding day

Chorus

Or a raspberry layer cake When no one else gives a damn Staying out way too late Playing every card you have Is learning to fly learning to walk Starting over again When everything you have is taken away Like a lie on your wedding day

Outro

It's just a lie on your wedding day A lie on your wedding day
