Very Temporary
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you want it to be, you've got to stand here by me
But if you wanted to leave, go on and make yourself free
If you want me to plead, you see me down on my knees
You can do as you like, but do you know where it leads?
When I wake from my sleep, outside my window I see
A little robin that sings a little sonnet for me
And every morning, I feel just like that bird in that tree
I'd build a nest out of weeds, but would you share it with me?
This is very temporary, but I can't do without having you around
If it's very temporary, tell me now
Just to please you I'd blow my brains out, this is it
Cut my heart out with a razor now
You're the one in my dreams, how can I make you believe
It's all that I want, it's all that I want
Now I'm lonely, it's the yearning
You infiltrate my thoughts and places in my home
This is very temporary, I know that's all you want,
I know I know
You're the reason I keep breathing and I'll give up the fight if you go
Cut my heart out with a razor now
