Lianne La HavasAbout

Courage Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mm, lost and overcome by the memory, mm
Of everything we were, but will never be
It's making me terribly lonely
[Pre-Chorus]
So lonely now
Love is the only way down
[Chorus]
Courage, save me somehow
This is the only way out
[Verse 2]
I can't resist your spell
I just lose my head, mm, I lose my head
Every time we speak
So I sing instead
All of these melodies
Maybe I'll never learn
Maybe it's not my turn
Could it be that I am only dreaming
Of a place that I wanna be?
Of a face that I longed to see?
With a heart that belongs only to me?
[Pre-Chorus]
And not to be so lonely now
Love is the only way down
[Chorus]
Courage, save me somehow
This is the only way out
So lonely now
Love is the only way down
Courage, save me somehow
This is the only way out

What does the Spotify Storyline say about the song?
It’s like I’m calling upon courage to come and help me out. As if courage is a person that maybe I could talk to for a bit to make me feel better. It was time of quiet reflection after the eye of the storm had passed. My defiant mood from “Seven Times” had passed and I thought, “What are you left wi...
