The Girl with the Curse

The Girl With The Curse – Kate Rusby

I see stars, I watch from afar

To feel the world turn as I watch them burn,

My old friends “Oh how will this end?

I need to believe that you’ll never leave.”

Chorus

You should say forgive, and I would say yes,

Then I’d lead us out of this God-awful mess,

But you won’t, so I don’t,

And with my heart behind bars

I’ll go look for the stars.

You say I’m bad, oh it makes me so sad,

But I have had worse, I’m the girl with the curse,

For peace I yearn, I feel it’s my turn,

I need to be free, I know you can see.

Chorus

Truth he lies, I’ve looked in his eyes,

There is no mirth, I know what he’s worth.

But I know love, it fits like a glove,

And maybe you don’t, so that’s why…

Chorus

You won’t say forgive, but I choose say yes,

I’ll lead myself out of this God-awful mess,

But you won't, so I don't,

And I'll go, you won't know,

If your heart’s behind bars

Go look for the stars.

Go look for the stars.

Go look for the stars.

Go look for the stars.
