Undertow Songtext
von Sara Bareilles

Silly me, look what I did again
I found what I want
Is what I cannot have
I didn′t mean to be
So predictable
But I blame it all on who made you irresistible

It isn't something I need
′Till you tell me, I can't
Why wear my heart on my sleeve

It looks so good in your hand
My heart breaks in a heart beat
And you stone me when you come and go
The taste of something so sweet
Should've warned me
′Bout the undertow

Oh, I couldn′t find a better man to let me go
Little girl, I don't know why you stay
If I had a feather for every time daddy said that I could fly away
Old habits are so hard to break


It′d be a shame to stop now that I've started to make really good mistakes
And I don′t know why I must ask
For the forbidden fruit
I saw the snake in the grass

But I had bitten too soon
My heart breaks in a heart beat
And you stone me when you come and go
Taste of something so sweet
Should've warned me
′Bout the undertow

Oh, I couldn't find a better man to let me go

I should have seen you coming in
Should recognize the signs a wave's gonna break
Now, I′ve given in, why fight it when
I′m resigned to simply live in your wake

Your wake
Heart breaks in a heart beat
You stone me when you come and go
Oh taste of something so sweet should have
Warned me 'bout the undertow
Oh, I couldn′t find a better man to let me go
No, no, couldn't find a better man to let me go
(Taken me away, taken me away)
