Subtraction
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.
do you know who you belong to
do you know love
do you know her face
how much subtraction takes place
do you know who you belong with
do you know who you belong to
do you know love
do you know her face
how much subtraction takes place
when i look at myself in the mirror
do i know you
when i look at myself in the mirror
i see you
so used to seeing you with me
in photographs and memory
i frequently see you there
when i stand in front of the mirror
alone alone
do you know who you belong with
do you know who you belong to
do you know love
do you know her face
how much subtraction takes place
you come from a woman's body
you're so close then so alone
came in a woman's body
you're so close then so alone
come from a woman's body
you're so close then so alone
you're in - in a woman's body
you're so close then so alone
