Julia Lyrics
[Intro]
Can we call it kinda? Yeah
When we met
That seems really good
[Verse 1]
When we met, I wasn't me
I was so numb, yeah, I was so lonely
Out on the run, I wasn't free
And you came along, but you couldn't save me
[Pre-Chorus]
My hesitation and holdin' my breath
I led you into the garden of my loneliness
Wished that you left before it all burned down
[Chorus]
Oh, Julia
I'm sorry what I do to ya
I push and pull and mess with your head
Then get in your bed 'cause I'm weak deep down
Oh, Julia
I wish I never lied to ya
I never meant to hurt you like that
And if I could go back, I'd leave you alone
Can we call it kinda? Yeah
When we met
That seems really good
[Verse 1]
When we met, I wasn't me
I was so numb, yeah, I was so lonely
Out on the run, I wasn't free
And you came along, but you couldn't save me
[Pre-Chorus]
My hesitation and holdin' my breath
I led you into the garden of my loneliness
Wished that you left before it all burned down
[Chorus]
Oh, Julia
I'm sorry what I do to ya
I push and pull and mess with your head
Then get in your bed 'cause I'm weak deep down
Oh, Julia
I wish I never lied to ya
I never meant to hurt you like that
And if I could go back, I'd leave you alone
[Verse 2]
When I left, I wasn't sure
That I could love, love anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
But my hesitation and holdin' my breath
I led you into the garden of my loneliness
Wished that you left before it all burned down
[Chorus]
Oh, Julia
I'm sorry what I do to ya
I push and pull and mess with your head
Then get in your bed 'cause I'm weak deep down
Oh, Julia
I wish I never lied to ya
I never meant to hurt you like that
And if I could go back, I'd leave you alone
[Outro]
I won't lie to you no more
I won't lie to you no more
'Cause I know I did before
Hope you find what you're looking for
When I left, I wasn't sure
That I could love, love anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
But my hesitation and holdin' my breath
I led you into the garden of my loneliness
Wished that you left before it all burned down
[Chorus]
Oh, Julia
I'm sorry what I do to ya
I push and pull and mess with your head
Then get in your bed 'cause I'm weak deep down
Oh, Julia
I wish I never lied to ya
I never meant to hurt you like that
And if I could go back, I'd leave you alone
[Outro]
I won't lie to you no more
I won't lie to you no more
'Cause I know I did before
Hope you find what you're looking for
