The Songs That We Sing Lyrics by Charlotte Gainsbour
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
I saw somebody who reminded me of you
Before you got afraid
I wish that you could've stayed that way

I saw a little girl, I stopped and smiled at her
She screamed and ran away
It happens to me more and more these days

And these songs that you sing
Do they mean anything
To the people you're singing them to
People like you

I saw a photograph, a woman in a bath
Of hundred dollar bills
If the cold doesn't kill her, money will

I read a magazine that said by seventeen
Your life was at an end
I'm dead and I'm perfectly content

And these songs that I sing
Do they mean anything
To the people I'm singing them to
People like you

And these songs that we sing
Do they mean anything
To the people we're singing them to
Tonight they do

Tonight they do
Tonight they do
I saw somebody who reminded me of you   Before you got afraid   I wish that you could've stayed that way      I saw a little girl, I stopped and smiled at her   She screamed and ran away   It happens to me more and more these days      And these songs that you sing   Do they mean anything   To the people you're singing them to   People like you      I saw a photograph, a woman in a bath   Of hundred dollar bills   If the cold doesn't kill her, money will      I read a magazine that said by seventeen   Your life was at an end   I'm dead and I'm perfectly content      And these songs that I sing   Do they mean anything   To the people I'm singing them to   People like you      And these songs that we sing   Do they mean anything   To the people we're singing them to   Tonight they do      Tonight they do   Tonight they do
