They Don't Make Them Like This Anymore

Compositor: Laura Anna Jadi

Secrets and hiding intentions
I'm missing the signals
It's only getting harder
With every heartbreak
And every loss
We switch the players
Like there were no rules
And no attachments
Only: See you later

It's only right
If I stayed the night
But I oh I
Won't stay, I'm running, you're not offering

It's only right
To treat it light
Oh now, oh now
We talk, next week we ain't responding
Burn into my mind
Only for the face to fade
Be merged with all of my mistakes
Should not have made these
Choices oh but I
Was put here with an ancient spirit
And a body seen to serve
Not my needs first
Gave it my all
You let me fall
And now I'm torn
I'm torn
I'm torn

I wanted love
Now I am sitting on the kitchen floor
Thinking
They don’t make them like THIS anymore
They don’t make them like THIS anymore
They don’t make them like THIS anymore

Speaking words of old wisdom
But lacking intention
You don’t even understand
The mission
At your disposition
I built you that throne that you sit on
And now you want it all

It’s only right
If you called my line
And cried
Or laughed
At my misfortune
I would know then
It’s only right
If you could learn to stop being
Everybody else
An imposter at the mass

Gave it my all
You let me fall
And now I'm torn
I'm torn
I'm torn

I wanted love
Now I am sitting on the kitchen floor
Thinking
They don’t make them like THIS anymore
They don’t make them like THIS anymore
They don’t make them like THIS anymore

(Mmmm)
Only for the face to fade
Be merged with all of my mistakes
Should not have made these
(Choices oh but I)
Was put here with an ancient spirit
And a body seen to serve
Not my needs first
