Foreign Accent

Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me that you'd die if you ever watched me leaving

Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me that you'd die if you ever watched me leaving

In Brooklyn, romanticising the subway
The things you say to me, some would call it poetry
Stood back in disbelief at all everything that lay before me
In New York we put faith in impossible things
I became a cool girl, strutting down seventh Avenue
Body to body with an angel in the hotel room
And I faced every hindrance with a villain killing stare
You were there

And I don't know how I ended up on this set
But you're saying all the things he never said
Now all I want to be is your Juliet
Everything sounds better in a foreign accent

I've sat in cafes, fantasising about strangers
I'm never gonna see you again but something in me likes that
When I get home I'll look back at photos
And wonder what the hell was I thinking
Everything sounds better when you're speaking

I let myself, I let myself believe in us
And that we wouldn't be another story gathering dust
I let my guard down and gave you my all
Now I'm left laying in the ashes of our downfall

And I don't know how I ended up on this set
But you're saying all the things he never said
Now all I want to be is your Juliet
Everything sounds better in a foreign accent

Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me that you'd die if you ever watched me leaving

Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me that you'd die if you ever watched me leaving

My southern boy
Miss America, wore it like a badge of honour
My heart is yours
Mr America, served it on a silver platter

My southern boy
Miss America, wore it like a badge of honour
My heart is yours
Mr America, served it on a silver platter

Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me that you'd die if you ever watched me leaving

Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me that you'd die if you ever watched me leaving

Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me that you'd die if you ever watched me leaving

Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me that you'd die if you ever watched me leaving
