Let Love Not Weigh Me Down

Ed Harcourt


Let love not weigh me down
Let the cursed air be clean
When you've lost faith in the human race 
Let love not weigh you down

Let love not cause me pain
Let it all seem like a dream
And I won't regret what I can't forget
Let love not cause you pain 

So let your beauty blind my vision
Let it move me til I die
And the seeds of despair won't be fruits that I bear 
Let the beauty blind my vision

So shed all the tears that you want
Run from the places you haunt
If you think you're lost
Or just double-crossed

Don't try to make sense of it all
Let the music and words take you back

To the times when your heart wasn't cracked 
And we won't be suffering with drugs and bad medicine 
We'll drink 'til the curtain calls

Let love not weigh me down
Let it's weakness be my guide
All this intensity makes perfect sense to me 
Let love not weigh you down

So shed all the tears that you want
Run from the places you haunt
If you think you're lost
Or just double-crossed
Don't try to make sense of it all
Let the music and words take you back
To the times when your heart wasn't cracked 
And we won't be suffering with drugs and bad medicine 
We'll drink til the curtain calls

We'll drink til the curtain calls
