letra de my victorian - emilie azalea

Loading...

verse 1:
white picket fence, husband on deployment
god i’d miss him when he’s gone
walked the children into school, back before it wasn’t cool
roses bloomin’ in the front lawn

kissed your photo in the frame, called the lord out by his name
please keep my baby safe and sound
i was worried over you, but what else could a lover do
it’d been way too many days to count

took myself out to the sea, it always reminded me
of a pause in the chaos that was history
children playin’ in the sand, couldn’t fully understand
i can still hear the laughter echoing

worked the desk from 9 to 5, just a woman in her prime
lost in census lists and in the sands of time
never worried bout, the walk back to our house
it was always safe there in the past at night

chorus:
in this victorian life
i was living full time
as your victorian wife
(like i ought to be, before the tragedy)
when this victorian died
i watched you from the skies
like the moon does every night
(it was short but sweet, you meant the world to me)
my victorian life

verse 2:
can’t remember if, i gave the kids a kiss
as i left for work the very last time
all i know is it was sunny, had to make this money
so i pushed all other thoughts aside

held my hat atop my head as i crossed by the forest
never turning in the journey to look back at all
trees were full and green, and the birds all sung to me
can’t remember if it was the spring or fall

worked a job that was mundane, but really i couldn’t complain
i was lucky women were even allowed at all
said goodbye when it turned 5, left for the very last time
taking steps down from our old town hall

it would’ve been, a different story
if i’da seen the two men, driving towards me
watched them leave, as i bled out through my seams
now white cadillacs still follow in my dreams

chorus

verse 3:
couldn’t tell you then, but i watched you cry
as they lowered me in wood, with petals inside
never got the chance to tell you goodbye
but never once did i ever leave your side

now i search for you in everyone
and get startled at every sound of a gun
our story ended before it truly begun
and i’m still searching for you in everyone

chorus
