i beg, what’s the lesson?
we mimic what we know, i guess
i’ve kept my promises loosely
you’re always the one lost in the details

i saw your name on the mountainside
your face in the shadowed rock
i begged and begged and begged you to leave
you smiled and said you would not

he says he loves his mama
and i could say the same
he crawled across all the rooftops
to break my window panes

gimme conversation
gimme conversation
please
please

here’s my life story
it’s all i ever talk about these days
you’ve kept your promises loosely
i’m always the one lost in the details

i say i love my mama
i know he’ll say the same
i crawled across all the rooftops
to scream his name in vain

gimme conversation
gimme conversation
please
please

i sit still
the blank mind, i crave

i sit still
the blank mind, i crave

i sit still
the blank mind, i crave

(you’re a coward)

i sit still
the blank mind, i crave

(you don’t know how to be kind)

i sit still
the blank mind, i crave

when all i asked for was a line

calm down, my love
i don’t mind
i’ve tried to be a child
so many times
i’ll take your hand
we’ll swim across the sea
no one expects
either of us
to leave

i was brave

i was brave

i was brave

i was brave

until it wasn’t brave to be

i was brave

i was brave

i was brave

i was brave

i was brave

i was brave

i was brave

i was brave

until it wasn’t brave to be

until it wasn’t brave to be

brave to be

brave to be

lift my dress
i’m here with you
it’s the first i’ve taken breath
and i am silent

and on my back
i knew your name
and you knew my name too
though you were silent

and i thought of screaming
thought of chasing you down every road you’d go
but there are lessons
and i have learned them
and i am old enough to know

and how do we
mark time alone
it’s easy now you’re gone
to stay silent

to press my hands
to yours once more
while i’m out in the sun
no longer silent

not this time around, my love, shift focus
distance is a feeling, not an end
will i ever learn to love a person, not a lesson
will i ever learn to breathe all on my own

you don’t say it
you don’t have to
you were glad to see me go
