Substitute Lyrics - Last Minutes & Lost Evenings (cd W/bonus Dvd) - Frank Turner

The first girl that I fell for was a fair and faithful fighter 

She smouldered with a will to save the world 

I did my best to help her, yeah I stood shoulder to shoulder 

On the front lines with my visionary girl 

I wish that she had cared for me 

But in the end her ideologies 

Occupied the fortress of her heart 

I wrote her 15 songs, but still we had to part 

And if music was the food of love 

Then I'd be a fat romantic slob 

Well music, it's my substitute for love

The last girl that I loved she was a low and lusty liar 

She set my heart on fire, but made me choke 

Her beauty was a sight to see, but she didn't save it all for me 

I found other fires by following the smoke 

I wish that she had either cared for me or 

let be me 

But she chased me from mind and from my home 

I wrote her 16 songs, but I ended up alone 

And if love is really all that we need 

Then even all my singing is never gonna save me 

Music it's my substitute for love

Well I've had many different girls inside my bed 

But only one or two inside my head 

These days I cuddle up to my guitar instead 

But oh, what I would give, not to stumble but to really fall in love 

And I could substitute my singing for the sound of someone sleeping next to me
