From The Start Lyrics By Laufey

Verse 1

Don’t you notice how
I get quiet when there’s no one else around?
Me and you and awkward silence
Don’t you dare look at me that way
I don’t need reminders of how you don’t feel the same

Verse 2

Oh, the burning pain
Listening to you harp on ’bout some new soulmate
“She’s so perfect,” blah, blah, blah
Oh, how I wish you’ll wake up one day
Run to me, confess your love, at least just let me say

Chorus

That when I talk to you
Oh, Cupid walks right through
And shoots an arrow through my heart
And I sound like a loon
But don’t you feel it, too?
Confess I loved you from the start

Scat Break

Verse 3

What’s a girl to do?
Lying on my bed staring into the bluе
Unrequited, terrifying
Lovе is driving me a bit insane
Have to get this off my chest, I’m telling you today

Chorus

That when I talk to you
Oh, Cupid walks right through
And shoots an arrow through my heart
And I sound like a loon
But don’t you feel it, too?
Confess I loved you from the start

Outro

Confess I loved you
Just thinking of you
I know I’ve loved you from the start
