David Lyrics

[Verse 1: Lorde]
Oh, dark day
Was I just someone to dominate?
Worthy opponent, flint to my blade
Now we're playing with shadows
At the Sunset Tower
You said, Open your mouth
I did

[Pre-Chorus: Lorde]
And what came spilling out that day was the truth
If I'd had virginity, I would have given that too

[Chorus: Lorde]
Why do we run to the ones we do?
I don't belong to anyone

[Verse 2: Lorde]
Oh, dark day
Was I just young blood to get on tape?
'Cause you dimed me out when it got hard
Uppercut to the throat, I was off guard
Pure heroine mistaken for featherweight

[Pre-Chorus: Lorde]
But what came spilling out that day was the truth
And once I could sing again, I swore I'd never lеt
Let myself sing again for you
Sing it

[Chorus: Lorde]
Said, Why do we run to thе ones we do?
I don't belong to anyone
I made you God 'cause it was all
That I knew how to do
But I don't belong to anyone

[Outro: Lorde]
Am I ever gonna love again?
Am I ever gonna love again?
Am I ever gonna love again?
Am I ever gonna love again?
(Am I ever gonna love again?)
(Tell it to the rock doves)
Will you ever feel like a friend?
(Sing it to the fountain)
Am I ever gonna love again?
Do you understand?
(Till you understand)
Tell it to 'em
