iain andrew - What It Was

The world blurs around me, time is swallowing us whole
We watch each other disappear
We forget our minds, and our hands come alive
We touch each other to prove we're still here
Our perfect love's a lie, cos a perfect love implies a love in all capacities
And I can't help but think there are easier ways to die happy
Morning breaks in a photograph and we are smiling
A keepsake of a love neither of us recall
What I want back is what it was
We keep breaking each other and calling it love
This mountain of life I've been tumbling down
Grief saddled on my back
But I know that when I fall, I will stand and find myself in a field of lilacs
And in that slanting sunlight, I will finally realise you taught me what I've always known
When life gives you lemons, all you drink is lemonade
The acid eats away at your tongue
My hand on the latch, the door is swinging open
I understand - I'm inviting everybody in
What I want back is what it was
We keep breaking each other and calling it love
All I want back is what it was
We keep breaking each other and calling it love
What I want back is what it was
We keep breaking each other and calling it love
All the lies that you tell tell me a greater truth
All this pain's just a confirmation that you
Never knew how to love and be loved in turn
Well now's your time to learn
What I want back is what it was
We keep breaking each other and calling it love
Yeah, calling it love
