"10 Lovers" lyrics - THE BLACK KEYS

THE BLACK KEYS
"10 Lovers"
(Dan Auerbach / Brian Burton / Patrick Carney)

When I hear them use your name
I get all choked up inside
It's not only from the shame
It's like 10 different lovers died
Except you're still just a mile away
But there's nothing left to say

[Chorus:]
Don't leave us not in love again
'Cause we might break instead of bend
I felt a little stain in the pouring rain
It washed away almost everything

If I found another love
They must be forever true
'Cause if someone breaks this heart
Your old man right here is through
Heaven just seems so far away
When there's nothing left to say

[Chorus 2x]

[Altered Chorus]
Don't leave us not in love again
The little girl can't comprehend
She had another dream that her mama's gone
She's alright, but you're all wrong
