Our Love Was Beautiful
Song by Straight White Teeth
Let me off the hook
I wanna run wild
Get tangled in the sheets
With a lover
That isn’t you
‘Cause I was on my own
When you were by my side
So there’s no difference now
Except there’s nothing to hide
Let me go on without you
Let me go on
Oh how the night gives way to the dawn
We were the dew on the morning lawn
Our love was beautiful but now it’s gone
There’s no coming back
After you showed me who you are
We can’t ever be
What we were
But it wasn’t real
You were just playing a part
To keep from being alone
And there’s no hiding now
Since you retired the role
Let me go on without you
Let me go on
Oh how the night gives way to the dawn
We were the dew on the morning lawn
Our love was beautiful but now it’s gone
I wanna run wild
Get tangled in the sheets
With a lover
That isn’t you
‘Cause I was on my own
When you were by my side
So there’s no difference now
Except there’s nothing to hide
Let me go on without you
Let me go on
Oh how the night gives way to the dawn
We were the dew on the morning lawn
Our love was beautiful but now it’s gone
There’s no coming back
After you showed me who you are
We can’t ever be
What we were
But it wasn’t real
You were just playing a part
To keep from being alone
And there’s no hiding now
Since you retired the role
Let me go on without you
Let me go on
Oh how the night gives way to the dawn
We were the dew on the morning lawn
Our love was beautiful but now it’s gone
