Guarantee That I'd Be Loved (Live with KORK) - Sondre Lerche/Kringkastingsorkestret

Lyrics by：Sondre Lerche

Composed by：Sondre Lerche

He once was a friend of mine

Who needed me all the time

How far would I be willing to go

To pull him back from the edge

To try to put him at ease

Or talk him off the ledge

I had to keep him alive

I did whatever he pleased

So maybe that would guarantee

That I'd be loved

We both fell in love on stage

Still teens no longer underage

How far would I be willing to go

To feel the warmth of her bed

To feel a part of her home

When she was trying to bloom

I only felt in the way

Our kind of sweetness was doomed

But had I stayed I would be

Guaranteed good love

She seemed inapproachable

So proud so inconsolable

How far would I be willing to go

To bring our creation to life

To live up to our dreams

And cut myself down to size

We came apart at the seams

But I would never dare say

I thought it guaranteed that

I could not be saved

I longed for her long before

Our paths crossed an open door

How far would I be willing to go

For us to both reinvent

One day I just couldn't tell

Her heartbeats from my own

And I thought to myself

I've gone and done it again

She was the greatest love

That I had ever known

Turns out it wasn't enough

I longed to live in a dream

Of everything I could be

And she still echoed a world

I thought I wanted to flee

And though she always guaranteed

That I'd be loved

I let it all go

I turned it all down

There was nothing to discuss

Although I took all her time

Trying to give up on us

Give up the greatest guarantee that I'd be loved
