1000 Doves

1000 Doves, perhaps the closest thing to a ballad on 2020’s Chromatica, features Lady Gaga’s emotive vocals over a house and disco-inspired dance beat.

[Verse 1] I need you to listen to me, please believe me I'm completely lonely, please don't judge me When your tears are falling, I'll catch them as they fall I need you to listen to me, please don't leave me I'm not perfect yet, but I'll keep trying When your tears are falling, I'll catch them as they fall [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause inside, we are really made the same (Oh) In life, waiting's just a stupid game (Oh) [Chorus] Lift me up, give me a start 'Cause I've been flying with some broken arms Lift me up, just a small nudge And I'll be flying like a thousand doves [Post-Chorus] A thousand do-o-o-o-o-oves Oh (Doves) A thousand do-o-o-o-o-oves Oh (Doves) [Verse 2] I'd do anything for you to really see me I am human, invisibly bleeding When your smile is shaking, I'll catch you as you fall [Pre-Chorus] I cry more than I ever say (Oh) Each time, your love seems to save the day (Oh) [Chorus] Lift me up, give me a start 'Cause I've been flying with some broken arms Lift me up, just a small nudge And I'll be flying like a thousand doves [Post-Chorus] A thousand do-o-o-o-o-oves Oh (Doves) A thousand do-o-o-o-o-oves Oh (Doves) [Bridge] I've been hurting, stuck inside a cage So hard my heart's been in a rage If you love me, then just set me free And if you don't, then baby, leave Set me free [Chorus] Lift me up, give me a start 'Cause I've been flying with some broken arms Lift me up, just a small nudge And I'll be flying like a thousand doves [Post-Chorus] A thousand do-o-o-o-o-oves (Flying, flying) Oh (Flying like a thousand doves) A thousand do-o-o-o-o-oves (Flying, flying) Oh (Flying like a thousand doves) Flying, flying, flying like a thousand doves Flying, flying, flying (Doves)
