Ellie Goulding
Modern Love
[Verse 1]
A poem we could rearrange
And change the title
We can start again
Like a glitch in a video game
You stop me, in my tracks
Like a satellite lost in space
Are you ever coming back?
Cause I don’t wanna be this suffocated
Feeling like we’re animals in cages
[Chorus]
Cause we’re just victims of this modern love
I miss the old fashioned in this modern love
We’re at the mercy of the changes
But the truth is that wе’re strangers
And we’rе addicted to this modern love
[Verse 2]
Now everything is jealousy
I know I’m not perfect
But I could be
Cause you can erase the flaws in love’s design
[Chorus]
Cause we’re just victims of this modern love
I miss the old fashioned in this modern love
We’re at the mercy of the changes
But the truth is that we’re strangers
And we’re addicted to this modern love
[Bridge]
You were beautiful, a world in a glass jar
We were ordinary lovers kissing like movie stars
[Chorus]
Cause we’re just victims of this modern love
I miss the old fashioned in this modern love
We’re at the mercy of the changes
But the truth is that we’re strangers
(Strangers in this modern love)
And we’re addicted to this modern love
