See me down, see me up
See those wings you gave me?
Watch me fly across the sea
Count the ways you made me
I walked in circles, walked the line
Tripped through tangled heart strings
Made an enemy of time
Made a mess of all things
...
All things
...
I have thought and think about
What and how to tell you
I have lived, it seems, without
Learning how to be true
But I meant every word I said
From deranged to divine
And I would do it all again
As if for the first time
...
The first time
...
The hurt that the head forgets
The heart will always remember
...
The hold that the hand regrets
The heart remembers forever
...
I am sorry, I am so
For the things you don't know
And, as for the things you do?
I am sorry for those, too
Out of every broken heart
Broken rule and promise
I have made a rescue raft
And sailed toward you on it
...
On it
...
The hurt that the head forgets
The heart will always remember
...
The hold that the hand regrets
The heart remembers forever
...
Do you, do you want me?
Do you know how to show
How to show these things?
...
I just didn't want to have to ask
I just didn't want to have to
Least of all people, you
...
Should you find someone with whom
There's no shiver or shout
With whom, never to assume
Too much rain or a drought
Scratch your name into her heart
Scratch away all the doubt
Scratch my memory from your brain
...
Scratch her fucking eyes out
...
Eyes out
...
I was put together wrong
Still, I was made for you
When our stitches come undone
We come together like glue
...
Like glue
