Love Police Lyrics

[Chorus 1]
Sometimes I lie awake
Wondering if I'll make it out of here
But the wind blows round my heels, so I stay
I remember lying there, wishing I could be someone else
Trying to find somehow to get away

[Chorus 2]
If I asked him nicely you'd think he's show me how to fly
'Cause the dust has weighed my wings down
And I'm too tired to try

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I sit here hearing voices in my head
I try to understand, to make some sense
I wonder if I had to, would I lie to save myself?
A plea of guilty, but self defence

[Chorus 2]
If I asked him nicely you'd think he's show me how to fly
[?]
And I'm too tired to try
To try

[Verse 2]
Try, all of my sins
'Cause I, I can't stop now
Just don't leave me behind
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 1]
Sometimes I lie awake
Wondering if I'll make it out of here
But the wind blows round my heels, so I stay
I remember lying there, wishing I could be someone else
Trying to find somehow to get away

[Chorus 2]
If I asked him nicely you'd think he's show me how to fly
'Cause the dust has weighed my wings down
And I'm too tired to try
Too tired
Gotta try somehow

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
