lyrics

She said it’s no big job to break your heart
Knock you down, tear you apart
I just need a place to start, some frayed edge of your soul.
You haven’t made me cry,
You never told me lies,
But now I’ll say goodbye.

She said I bored her to death
And my smile mede her sick
And the sound of my voice drives her insane.

She said:
How can I love you?
How can I love someone like you?
How can I love you?
How can I love someone like you?

How
Can I love
You?

I give her all that I could give
I was so sensitive
and that was why she couldn’t live anywhere near me.
I never made the same mistake twice,
I was always extra-nice
She was always cold as ice.

Sing To God Vol I & II
by Cardiacs

supported by 6 fans who also own “How Can I Love You?”

Coming to this band kind of late. This is the third Cardiacs album I have bought and the best: unrelenting punk energy, creative, irreverent, funny, epic, occasionally funky. One of the only albums that makes me smile ear to ear. It matches my internal monologue so well that bizarrely I find it calming, despite it bring objectively one of the least calming albums you'll ever hear. normalhumanperson
