lyrics

My feet are cold, it is the floor,
the kitchen's always freezing in the morning,
it's so quiet here, can you hear the prickling of the
whisps upon my strong forearms rising up in protest,
seems i have the strength to leave you in bed,
i can hear the sleepy creaking cross the hall.

You cannot hurry love and I was so patient
Vigilant for sparks and starry kisses, so desperate
The cure for my irrelevance lay in an ever-changing person
So as close as I had yet get I was not about to forfeit, to forfeit

In my mind, my psychic print is still leaning on the cupboard,
I can see her heaving, gasping air in, trying to soothe the pounding in her chest
I hope you don't mean harm that you don't know what you're doing
Because when you blame me, try and persuade me I can feel a burning in my chest

I know that you really believe that you love me
I tried so hard to find those feelings, within me
I had so much hope for this, when our trust was still unbroken
But as close as I had yet to get, I had to my myself first I had to forfeit!

I know now, what I am already owed!
I know now, I have never been less than whole
All of the good ones fall in love, all of the righteous fall in love
Society love to tell us, but I am not less than any one
And I am not, less than anyone...
And I am not. Someone else's other half!
