Starsmith - The Writer lyrics

[Verse 1-Ellie Goulding] You wait for a silence I wait for a word Lie next to your frame Girl unobserved You change your position And you are changing me Casting these shadows Where they shouldn't be [Pre-Chorus-Ellie Goulding] We're interrupted by the heat of the sun Trying to prevent what's already begun You're just a body I can smell your skin And when I feel it, you're wearing thin [Chorus-Ellie Goulding] But I've got a plan Why don't you be the artist and make me out of clay? Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say? Because I'd rather pretend I'll still be there at the end Only it's too hard to ask, won't you try to help me? [Verse 2-Ellie Goulding] Sat on your sofa, it's all broken springs This isn't the place for those violin strings I try out a smile and I aim it at you You must have missed it You always do [Chorus-Ellie Goulding] But I've got a plan Why don't you be the artist and make me out of clay? Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say? Because I'd rather pretend I'll still be there at the end Only it's too hard to ask, won't you try to help me? [Bridge-Ellie Goulding] You wait, I wait, casting shadows, interrupted You wait, I wait, casting shadows, interrupted You wait, I wait, casting shadows, interrupted You wait, I wait, casting shadows [Chorus -Ellie Goulding] But I've got a plan Why don't you be the artist and make me out of clay? Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say? Because I'd rather pretend I'll still be there at the end Only it's too hard to ask, won't you try to help me? [Chorus -Ellie Goulding] But I've got a plan Why don't you be the artist And make me out of clay? Why don't you be the writer? And decide the words I say? ‘Cause I'd rather pretend I'll still be there at the end Only it's too hard to ask Won't you try to help me?
