Laura Marling, ‘New Romantic’

I know I said I loved you
But I’m thinking I was wrong
I’m the first to admit that I’m still pretty young
And I never meant to hurt you
When I wrote you ten love songs
That guy that I could never get
Because his girlfriend was pretty fit
And everyone who knew her loved her so
And I made you leave her for me
And now I’m feeling pretty mean
But my mind has fucked me over
More times than any man could ever know

Maybe I should give up, give in
Give up trying to be thin
Give up and turn into my mother
God knows I love her

And I’m sorry to whichever man
Should meet my sorry state
Watch my sturdy lonesome gait and be aware
That I will never love a man
Because love and pain go hand in hand
And I can’t do it again

So we stayed up late one night
To try and get our problems right
But I couldn’t get into his head
Just what was going through my mind
I think he knew where I was going, he put Ryan Adams on
I think he thinks it makes me weak
It only ever makes me strong
I’ve got this friend and he sounds just like him
He’s the man I’d leave you for
The man that I just adore like you

The same man, he turns to me
He says I’ve got to tell you how I feel
If God could make a perfect girl
For me, it would be you
And my God told me not to tell
About how much do you love your fella
I don’t know, more every day?
Not in this new romantic way

I’ll always be your first love
You’ll always be my first love

But I’m sorry to whichever man
Should meet my sorry state
Watch my sturdy lonesome gait and be aware
I will never love a man
Because love and pain go hand in hand
And I can’t do it again 
I will never love a man
Because I can never hurt a man
Not in this new romantic way
