The Cowardly Lion Doesn't Write Love Songs Lyrics

Turnin' on the TV, you were 14
You said my mom's asleep,
We won't get caught,
Do you wanna watch?
And I could hear the traffic
That I know you're ignoring,
But I let it into my life
To thicken the air I breathe.
It was at the bus stop that a woman cried

And I could tell she was different
By the look in her eyes
And I don't know what she said,
But I felt what she meant in her honesty.
Then I went to your house that night
And I told you about the woman's eyes
And the words in her mouth
And how I wouldn't mind
Taking her advice one day,
But I'm The Cowardly Lion.
I leave quietly
If that means
A better chance to commemorate
What we had
When you were happy.
This isn't a love song,
No, not in the least
I just miss you watching my TV
When I'm writin',
So I can hear you laughin'.
I swear to God I still hear you,
When I close my eyes
And you tell me
I'm not gonna die
Like you used to, before I did this.
You're the sunlight
That I wish would leave,
I'm the rain cloud, I don't wanna be
Cuz the more you're gone,
The more I grow pale.
I grow pale.
You're the sunlight
That I wish would leave,
I'm the rain cloud, I don't wanna be
Cuz the more you're gone,
The more I grow pale.
I grow pale.
