I - I believed - memory might mirror no reflections on me
I - I believed - that in forgetting I might set myself free
But I woke up this morning with a piece of past caught in my throat…
And then I choked
I - I bled - I tried to hide the heart from the head
And I - I said I bled - In the arms of a girl I'd barely met
And I woke up this morning with the present in splinters on the ground
And then I drowned
And if I can't see it’s for want of - you
You said, "I see"
If there's nothing here then it’s probably mine
My - My turn to see - if there's nothing here it will always be mine, mine
But I woke up this morning with a piece of past caught in my throat -
And then I choked
I - I guess I've learned the taste of days that will always burn
I - I guess I've learned if it’s in the corner of my eye I can't always turn
And I woke up this morning with the present in splinters on the ground - and then I drowned
And if I can't see it’s for want of - you
You
