Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm sorry I ruined your birthday

Guess I could go back to university

Try and make my mother proud

Stop this phase I'm in she deems

Dangerous in love

[Verse 2]

The spelling is a problem, as is the discipline

I don't think it would be too long

Before I was drunk in Camberwell again

But this is the only thing I've ever had any faith in

[Verse 3]

Grace, I know you carry us

Grace, and it was such a mess

Grace, I don't say it enough

Grace, you are so loved

[Verse 4]

I'm sorry I ruined your birthday

You had turned eighteen

And the sunshine hit me

And I was behaving strangely

All the walls were melting

And there were mermaids everywhere

Hearts flew from my hands

And I could see people's feelings

This is the only thing I've ever had any faith in

[Verse 5]

Grace, I know you carry us

Grace, and it was such a mess

Grace, I don't say it enough

Grace, you are so loved

[Verse 6]

And you, you are the one I treated the worst

Only because you loved me the most

We haven't spoken in a long time

I think about it sometimes

[Verse 7]

I don't know who I was back then

And I hope on hope, I would never treat anyone like that again

This is the only thing I've ever had any faith in

[Verse 8]

Oh, Grace, I know you carry us

Grace, and it was such a mess

Grace, I don't say it enough

Grace, you are so loved

[Verse 9]

Grace, I know you carry us

Grace, and it was such a fucking mess

Oh, Grace, I don't say it enough

Oh, Grace, you are so loved

This is the only thing I've ever had any faith in

This is the only thing I've ever had any faith in

This is the only thing I've ever had any faith in

This is the only thing I've ever had any faith in
