a place

There is a place in my head
That was stolen by you
There is a place
In my mind
That I'll never feel free
To use (to use)
Slowly, but surely, you wrecked me
And I would so easily say
It was all about love
(It was all about love)
And if there was a way for you
To help me
Instead of put me down
We would have known
But if it's gonna stay
The way that you perceive me
Never standing strong
I wouldn't want it to be
Any other way
You couldn't see me when I was there
Shutting me out while saying that you cared
If you had learned to see with your own eyes
You would have realized
I was already broken
There is a place in my head
That was stolen by you
There is a place in my mind
That I'll never feel free to use
You used to say
That I had to learn
To take care of myself
On my own
Lessons to learn
For such a young girl
Thinking that only pride could hurt
That what I felt was all too much
That most of it was really my fault
And part of me could tell that
It didn't really feel right
But I would still give my aproval
There is a place in my head
That was stolen by you
There is a place in my mind
That I'll never feel free to use

my favorite things

Water running down the lemon
Things only you and I may know
Though we may not believe in heaven
Good things belong to here and now
You are one of my favorite things
The words we dare to speak
Though the past is not an easy guide
Then finding peace in smaller gestures
That make our love a life to last
All the little things you did to prove me right
Giving me the reasons to stay by your side
You are one of my favorite things
Searching for new ways to change
Looking for no one to blame
These are a few things of my favorite things
You are one of my favorite things

There is not a way that I could hide
This ease I have to share is not my own
You know me as a preacher and a child
You’re a witness to the place where I was born
None of the places I’ve been have felt fine
None of the views I have seen were refined
All of the skies that I found to be bright
The colors they stole were from home
None of the thoughts that I had have been mine
None of the words I said were from that time
All of the love that you found in me then
I learned it and brought it from home
Somehow it’s like it’s not natural
This affection I feel for the rest of us
Sometimes it feels like I owe it back
Tell me it’s not a lie
That what I give, I’ve earned it right
Tell me it’s not a myth
This thing they call loving with the heart
None of the places I’ve been have felt fine
None of the views I have seen were refined
All of the skies that I found to be bright
The colors they stole were from home
None of the thoughts that I had have been mine
None of the words I said were from that time
All of the love that you found in me then
I learned it and brought it from home
Delicate creature
Monster of hunger
Who knows who you are
And what you are made of
If only words were enough for me to say
Rather you throw yourself into other’s arms
For your own, or my sake
Mistakes or revelations
No one else but you can tell
What you mean when you let your spirits grow Into open hearts
How cruel are you
To be my home and my burden
All this love comes from my home
None of it is really my own
Since I have some here with me
Let’s make it ours until it leaves

Somehow you know that I saw you
And you might believe that I want you
But if you look a little closer
You’ll notice that I’ve nothing to offer
Dancing with my own body
Playing on my own
Needing nobody
Pleasing me on my own
It’s nothing new, this whole absurdity
Places I shouldn’t go alone
Wish I could say it’s all a parody
But people don’t seem to have grown
I don’t belong to you or anyone
What made you think that you could lead
Don’t make me be the one to leave tonight
This solitude is my relief
I don’t need you
In this frame
I’m just fine
With myself
I don’t ever want to feel like I owe this again
Never again,
I just want to let go
Dancing with my own body
Playing on my own
Needing nobody
Pleasing me on my own
A minute just to breath
A party with no tears
A drink with no surprise
An evening with no prize
There isn’t a game that ends with me
You’re thinking wrong if you want to play me
Dancing with my own body
Playing on my own
Needing nobody
Pleasing me on my own
