Jake Brewer - Cambridge

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1676855
VERSE 1
I can feel the weight of your body on an empty side of a bed
I swear I saw you in a hotel lobby but it was all in my head

A flicker in the distance would distract me from the pain
You light the candles to illuminate enough to make me stay

Chorus
Kept me eyes on brutality
'Cause it felt too right when you were close to me
You painted a life like it was meant for us
But a long goodbye was all it was
It’s a lot to ask a friend to live a lie
Just because you walked away
Doesn’t mеan you didn’t try

VERSE 2
I hear they still think of her in Cambridgе
Didn’t like the parties but she’s the big man on campus

We stood like less than lovers 'til my living room was empty
What worth am I to love if not even you would let me?

Chorus
Kept me eyes on brutality
'Cause it felt too right when you were close to me
You kept your love as you took all mine
What a cruel mistake, what a sacred crime
It’s a lot to ask a friend to live a lie
Just because you walked away
Doesn’t mean you didn’t try

BRIDGE
She was a portrait of my desire
I didn't know how colors bleed
I bury my hurt in apathy
Could I blame her for believing me?
I couldn't bare the silence
But I didn't want the truth
It took some time before I knew
To love you right is to forgive you

OUTRO
Maybe someday I’ll walk through Cambridge
I’m older now so I think I understand it
A year ago it’d be another story
So we'll leave this one for your eyes only

{VERSE 1} She moved down to the lower east side Left her parents to take control of life She likes to say that I’m her favorite guy But I know she’s destined to think

{VERSE 1} There's only so many things Hanging on broken strings Ready to give in There's only so many thoughts You had before you're lost

Jake Brewer - All the spaces i left blank
{verse 1} I used to see you as a king And i would die for that throne Like everything i did was to prove to you That i could do it on my own But daggers from your
