“Like I Do” by Moncrieff - A Song Feature


     Moncrieff’s soulful approach to his music reflects his Irish upbringing on Soul and Blues music. He now resides in London. Last year, Moncrieff wrote and released “Like I Do” after realizing that he allowed an important relationship to end. He explains:
  “I wrote this song for a very special person who pretty much changed the course of my life from the moment she stepped in it. A person who slipped away somewhere between yesterday and forever ago.”

     “Like I Do” is a single on Moncrieff’s EP "The Early Hurts."




Lyrics of “Like I Do” by Moncrieff
Holding on to skin and bone
You’re wasted love that's not your own
I've been away for far too long
But now I'm here, I need you home

I've been keeping faith
Tryna find my way
While he's taking my place
You don't smile like you do with me
I'll give all I have just to prove

He don't love you like I do, like I do, like I do
He don't love you like I do, like I do, like I do

I'm not begging you to leave him
I'm not asking you to choose
Just want you to tell me, you won't hide from the truth
I can't fight the feeling, we got so much more to lose
When you're alone, does he make you ache to your bones?

He don't love you like I do, like I do, like I do
He don't love you like I do, like I do, like I do

It's only you that haunts my dreams
These lonely nights tear me at the seams
Oh, can you feel my fingers pulling down your spine?
When he takes your hand, do you pray for mine?

He don't love you like I do, like I do, like I do
He don't love you like I do, like I do, like I do

I'm not begging you to leave him
I'm not asking you to choose
Just want you to tell me, you won't hide from the truth
Now I can't fight the feeling, we got so much more to lose
When you're alone, does he make you ache to your bones?

Does he set your soul on fire?
Does he take you ever higher?
Can he do the things that I do, honey?
Doesn't matter what it takes
I refuse to walk away
Unless you tell me that I'm locked out, honey

He don't love you like I do, like I do, like I do
He don't love you like I do, like I do, like I do

I'm not begging you to leave him
I'm not asking you to choose
Just want you to tell me, you won`t hide from the truth
I can't fight the feeling we got so much more to lose
When you're alone, does he make you ache to your bones?

He don't love you like I do, like I do, like I do
He don't love you like I do, like I do, like I do
He don't love you like I do, like I do, like I do
He don't love you like I do
