lyrics

never occurred to me that here i stand i’m so sorry
i was innocent but a common crook playing war to feel understood
and you could’ve known better, eighteen is all stormy weather
here we are so much silence later, do you hate me or are we strangers

i chose to crash every single time
and i left you there with a peace of mind
i chose to crash every single time
if you called my name i didn’t hear it right
i chose to crash every single time
it’s easier when there’s no goodbye
i chose to crash every single time
but i’m walking back to apologize

others have called me sweet but we know the truth and it’s hard to keep
i left my heart in a sentence scrawled on a page i lost on a phone call
and you could’ve known better, i was eighteen and under pressure
now that i am the bad guy, do you recall the look in my eyes

i chose to crash every single time
cuz i was scared of what i would find
i chose to crash every single time
i got too close to crossing the line
i chose to crash every single time
yes i wanted to leave it behind
i chose to crash every single time
didn’t think about you as the years went by
i chose to crash every single time
and i left you there with a peace of mind
i chose to crash every single time
if you called my name i didn’t hear it right
i chose to crash every single time
it’s easier when there’s no goodbye
i chose to crash every single time
but i’m walking back to apologize

What does "fuvk" mean in the first place? Well, find the letter "v" on a computer keyboard, and it will strike you immediately. An unusual name for an artist, and so is her music. I don't know from which corner of her head Shirley Zhu gets all of these splendid song ideas - but nevermind, I hope this source never runs dry. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)

Each track has its own importance to life. A lyrical genius with a rhythm that only makes the message more present and real. Kusistency
