Half Gifts
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.
It's an old game, my love
When you can't have me you want me
Because you know
That you're not risking anything
Intimacy is when
We're in the same place at the same time
Dealing honestly with how we feel, and who we really are
That's what grown-ups do
That is mature thinking
Well i'm still a junkie for it
It takes me out of my aloneness
But this relationship cannot sustain itself
Intimacy is when
We're in the same place at the same time
Dealing honestly with how we feel, and who we really are
That's what grown-ups do
That is mature thinking
I just have to know
How to be in
The process
Of creating things in a better way
And it hurts but it's a lie
That i can't handle it
I still have a world of me-ness to fulfill
I still have a life, and it's a rich one
Even with mourning
Even with grief and sadness
I still care about
This planet, i am still connected to nature
And to my dreams for myself
I have my friends
My family
I have myself
I still have me
I have my friends
My family
I have myself
I still have me
