about

Cover of Regina Spektor

lyrics

You are my sweetest downfall.
I loved you first.
I loved you first.
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth:
That I have to go.
I have to go.
Your hair was long when we first met.

You are my sweetest downfall.
I loved you first.
I loved you first.
Beneath the stars are falling on our heads.
But they're just old light.
They're just old light.
Your hair was long when we first met.

Samson came to my bed,
Told me that my hair was red.
Told me I was beautiful,
Came into my bed.
I cut his hair myself one night,
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light.
And he told me that I'd done alright,
And he kissed me till the morning light.

And then Samson went back to bed,
Not much hair left on his head.
He ate a slice of Wonderbread
And went right back to bed.
And he couldn't pull the columns down,
No he couldn't destroy a single one.
And the history books forgot about us,
And the Bible didn't mention us,
Not even once.

You are my sweetest downfall.
I loved you first.
