New Romantic.

I would write paragraph upon paragraph about my current mindset and how I feel (but don't worry, I feel pretty happy and fine right now) but instead, I thought I'd just post Laura Marling's lyrics to New Romantic. I think they encapsulate exactly what I feel like and would want to say...

"I know I said I loved you but I’m thinking I was wrong,

I’m the first to admit that I’m still pretty young,

and I never meant to hurt you when I wrote you ten love songs.

but a guy that I could never get ‘cause his girlfriend was pretty fit

and everyone who knew her loved her so.

and I made you leave her for me and now I’m feeling pretty mean,

but my mind has fucked me over more times than any man could ever know.

Maybe I should give up, give in,

give up trying to be thin,

give up and turn into my mother,

god knows I love her.

and I’m sorry to which ever man should meet my sorry state,

watch my steady lonesome gait and beware.

I would never love a man ‘cause love and pain go hand in hand

and I can’t do it again.

So we stayed up late one night to try and get our problems right,

but I couldn’t get into his head just what was going through my mind,

and I think he knew where I was going he put Ryan Adams on I think he thinks it makes me weak

it only ever makes me strong.

I’ve got this friend who sounds just like him,

now he’s the man I’d leave you for, the man that I just adore like you.

The same man, he turns to me he said I’ve got to tell you how i feel, if god could make the perfect girl for me it would be you and my god told me not tell about how much do you love your fella?”

I don’t know more everyday

not in this new romantic way.

I’ll always be your first love, you’ll always be my first love.

And I’m sorry to which ever man should meet my sorry state

watch my steady lonesome gait and beware,

I will never love a man ‘cause I could never hurt a man in this way.

I will never love a man cause I could never hurt a man, not in this new romantic way."

Well, there you go. The lyrics are so beautiful in such a simple way, and they say exactly what I want to say, so it's all good really.

Oh, and one last thing, the photo in this blog post is of one of Coco Channel's trinket things from her apartment. I think its a very beautiful and ornate thing too, which I'd quite like to own! :)
