River Lea

Everybody tells me

It's 'bout time that I moved on

And I need to learn to lighten up

And learn how to be young

But my heart is a valley

It's so shallow and man made

I'm scared to death if I let you in

That you'll see I'm just a fake

Sometimes I feel lonely

In the arms of your touch

But I know that's just me

Cause nothing ever is enough

When I was a child

I grew up by the River Lea

There was something in the water

Now that something's in me

Oh I can't go back

But the reeds are growing out of my fingertips

I can't go back to the river

But it's in my roots, in my veins

It's in my blood and I stain every heart

That I use to heal the pain

Oh, It's in my roots, in my veins

It's in my blood and I stain every heart

That I use to heal the pain

So I blame it on the River Lea

The River Lea, the River Lea

Yeah I blame it on the River Lea

The River Lea, the River Lea

I should probably tell you now

Before it's way too late

That I never meant to hurt you

Or lie straight to your face

Consider this my apology

I know it's years in advance

But I'd rather say it now in case

I never get the chance

No I can't go back

But the reeds are growing out of my fingertips

I can't go back to the river

But it's in my roots, in my veins

It's in my blood and I stain every heart

That I use to heal the pain

Oh, It's in my roots, in my veins

It's in my blood and I stain every heart

That I use to heal the pain

So I blame it on the River Lea

The River Lea, the River Lea

Yeah I blame it on the River Lea

The River Lea, the River Lea

River Lea, River Lea

River Lea, River Lea
