Kate Rusby
The Girl With the Curse

[Verse 1]
I see stars, I watch from afar
To feel the world turn as I watch them burn
My old friends, oh, how will this end?
I need to believe that you'll never leave

[Chorus]
You should say "Forgive me" and I would say "Yes"
I'd lead us out of this God-awful mess
But you won't, so I don't
With my heart behind bars
I'll go look for the stars

[Verse 2]
You say I'm bad, it makes me so sad
But I have had worse, I'm the girl with the curse
For peace I yearn, I feel it's my turn
I need to be free, I know you can see

[Chorus]
You should say "Forgive me" and I would say "Yes"
I'd lead us out of this God-awful mess
But you won't, so I don't
With my heart behind bars
I'll go look for the stars
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Truth he lies, I've looked in his eyes
And there is no mirth, I know what he's worth
But I know love, it fits like a glove
I think that you don't, and that's why

[Chorus]
You won't say "Forgive me", I'll choose to say "Yes"
I'll lead myself out of this God-awful mess
'Cause you won't say "Forgive me", I'll choose to say "Yes"
I'll lead myself out of this God-awful mess
But you won't, so I don't
And I'll go, you won't know
If your heart's behind bars
Go look for the stars

[Outro]
Oh, go look for the stars
Go look for the stars
