Let's let each other know who we are next time We fall in love Let's know the depths of cruelty one can reach into In moments of resounding reality, of boundless anger. I know you now After I loved you After And it doesn't seem like an adult move Tho I've earned the right to call myself an adult Except, sometimes, when it comes to you. I seem to lose my rights to adulthood in black moments. There are no ways back to each other I've tried to find them Alone, all by myself While you were off drinking yourself into oblivion. I lay awake those nights Believe me, I knew Because I know you now After I loved you After. Your anger at me is unfounded. It was simply a matter of timing I am still just that girl in the airport Who already loved you Before I knew who you really were. Before I knew That you required perfection In the face of your imperfections. |
