Arcade Fire - Crown of Love Lyrics

They say, "It fades if you let it"
Love was made to forget it
I carved your name across my eyelids
You pray for rain I pray for blindness

If you still want me, please forgive me
The crown of love has fallen from me
If you still want me, please forgive me
Because the spark is not within me
I snuffed it out before my Mom walked in my bedroom

The only thing that you keep changin'
Is your name, my love keeps growin'
Still the same, just like a cancer
And you won't give me a straight answer

If you still want me, please forgive me
The crown of love has fallen from me
If you still want me, please forgive me
Because your hands are not upon me
I shrugged them off before my Mom walked in my bedroom

The pains of love and they keep growin'
In my heart there's flowers growin'
On the grave of our old love
Since you gave me a straight answer

If you still want me, please forgive me
The crown of love is not upon me
If you still want me, please forgive me
'Cause this crown is not within me
It's not within me, it's not within me

You gotta be the one
You gotta be the way
Your name is the only word that I can say

You gotta be the one
You gotta be the way
Your name is the only word, the only word that I can say
Only word that I can say
Say, "La-la-love, love, la-la-love"
