The Girl With A Cruel Face Lyrics - Zwan

I met her out, walking 

lost in the conversation and thought 

she forgot nothing, but where I was 

to let me bide easing 

she paused with a wink, a nod, and a smile 

I caught enough to miss her 

at least not for a little while 

and one day you'll find 

I got just what i wanted here 

in empty books and the baby hooks 

with the names of the girl with the dull embrace 

hey, hello, how are you 

didn't we meet at a costume ball 

she laughed, no, it's different, it was not 

a dark alley pissing on a wall 

that's when I knew we're meant to fall 

and one day you'll find 

I got just what I wanted here 

some old soot and the vacant look 

of the girls who just enjoy the chase 

and so we talked to no one else 

of premonitions come and gone 

everything you know is wrong, she said 

I know you know you're wrong, she said 

let's go, I know the way to go 

within, without 

you're so lucky to let this out 

and one day you'll find 

I got just what I wanted here 

a cracked rook on the highest roof 

straining out at the girls I can't disgrace 

I love you, I slipped and she began to come 

she caught me watching, said I'm never far 

couldn't even tell me you what want 

she wanted what she wanted and I felt cold 

I know I'm gone from someone 

maybe I saw you kicking a can 

leaning against the garbage to understand 

why they're all boys and you're a man 

I'm sure you begged them all to stop 

staring at your noon stopwatch 

and one day I'll find 

I got just what I wanted here 

a dull glare with the never there 

of a girl with the gravity misplaced 

she spoke in the lilt of insatiable chase 

all vain glory and cruel face 

all riddle rhymes I can't replace, not now 

not ever with what I take 

to my distaste her apathy hurt 

and I was only trying to flirt 

little still known of my fate 

the oracle hung around like dead weight 

and one day we all find 

we get just what we wanted here 

broken arms and some tarnished charms 

of a jewel gone astray after a gate 

so now it's time for questions 

it's no answers and all smiles 

pleasing and amusing as I 

please for a little while 

she said, let's go for a walk or picture show 

one wish, honest 

to wipe away the loneliness 

I stopped by a river to take her in 

she cursed out loud and pushed me in 

now let's see if you'll sink or swim 

I'll do what you can't do for them 

I'll take you through all of it 

the rumors and the lies and the bullshit 

we'll wash away all our sin and grit 

yours without and mine shoved in forever 

and ever, always there, forever 

and ever 

and one day I'll find 

she got just what she wanted here 

the lazy looks and the things I took 

from the ones who can't escape the fray 

tied to a tree, trying to kiss her bold 

trying to pry inside that soul 

she turned her face as if to go 

said there's, nowhere else to go 

I know I love you 

as simple as I'm sweet 

she hissed, you know you know no love 

that does not 

repeat 

and repeat 

and repeat 

and repeat 

and repeat 

and repeat 

and repeat 

and repeat 

and repeat 

and repeat 

and repeat 

and repeat 

and repeat 

and repeat 

and repeat 

and one day she'll find 

I've got just what i wanted here 

I wandered such for a little luck 

from a girl who can not run the race 

I am the girl of the bitter embrace 

I am the girl you'll forever chase 

with your loins burning, all eyes of hate 

I'm pulling you up and out to place 

what do you need, you don't even know 

a sad lonely crane standing in the shallows 

waiting for wind to blow 

you've got it all wrong 

I said, I fear 

I see what you mean 

and I hear what you hear 

there is division in all that's at stake 

but look at the beautiful crest of the wave i create 

maybe someday I will tell the truth 

when I find someone who wants the truth 

maybe someday I will tell the truth 

when I find someone who wants the truth 

and one day I'll find 

I got just what i wanted here 

a lonely place with my mind erased 

against the girl with the girl with the cruel face 

hey, look out, there goes a girl 

who watched me diving for my pearls 

hey, look out, there goes a girl 

a woman who watched me dive for my pearls 

one kiss, honest 

I thought I said I wanted this 

one kiss, honest 

I said I thought I wanted this
