You helped me open out my wings

I made you laugh, I made you cry
I made you open up your eyes
Didn’t I?

Well we were good, when we were good
When we were not misunderstood

You helped me love, you helped me live
You helped me learn how to forgive
Didn’t you?

Some make it, mistake it
Some force and some will fake it

Some fret it, forget it
Some ruin and some regret it

We learn to wag and tuck our tails
We learn to win and then to fail
Didn’t we?

We learn that lovers love to sing
And that losers love to cling
Didn’t we?

I made you laugh, I made you cry I made you open up your eyes Didn’t I?

I helped you open out your wings,
your legs, and many other things
Didn’t I?

Well we were good, when we were good
When we were not misunderstood

You helped me love, you helped me live
You helped me learn how to forgive
Didn’t you?

Some make it, mistake it
Some force and some will fake it
I never meant to let you down
Some fret it, forget it
Some ruin and some regret it
I never meant to let you down

We learn to wag and tuck our tails
We learn to win and then to fail
Didn’t we?

What are you so afraid to lose? What is it you’re thinking that will happen if you do?

It takes a lot to know a man
It takes a lot to understand
The warrior, the sage
The little boy enraged

It takes a lot to know a woman
A lot to understand what’s humming
The honeybee, the sting
The little girl with wings

It takes a lot to give, to ask for help
To be yourself, to know and love what you live with
It takes a lot to breathe, to touch, to feel
The slow reveal of what another body needs

It takes a lot to know a man
A lot to know, to understand
The father and the son
The hunter and the gun

It takes a lot know a woman
A lot to comprehend what’s coming
The mother and the child
The muse and the beguiled

Now you know you were everything you’re not supposed to be to someone that you love.

You walk away from me

You provoked and you broke
All my dreams and my hope.

And I’m sitting still.

I feel trapped and alone
I thank God you are gone.

I sleep better now.

I feel free and I see
What you are without me.

I only wanted you to know
That I never wanted you to go!

Well I’m so childish

Well I’m so childish, a little bit wildish
With my rumdiddlyumdiddlyumdiddly, I’m so deep

Well I’m so uncaring, do far too much swearing
And if you read through my behaviour, you’ll find I’m a creep

I try my bestest, well as far the restest
Well it’s just stuff that comes out wrong, and gets misunderstood

I’m a dandy little dreamer, a doctored misdemeanour
A didactic destiny schemer, bare with me if you would

Nothing unusual nothing’s changed Just a little older that’s all

Nothing unusual nothing strange
Close to nothing at all

The same old scenario the same old rain
and there’s no explosions here

Then something unusual something strange
comes from nothing at all

You know when you’ve found it there’s something I’ve learned
’cause you feel it when they take it away

But I’m not a miracle and you’re not a saint
just another soldier on a road to nowhere

that kind of love is just for fools

Don’t give me something to hold in my hand
Something else to believe in
Cause I’m over it
And your reason for wanting to stay
Your reason for wanting to change
My reason for everything I’ve done to you…

I have tried but I don’t fit
Into this box I’m living with
I could go wild
But you might lock me up…

And I have tried but I don’t fit
Into this box you call a gift
I could be wild and free
But god forbid then you might envy me…

So don’t give me love with a whole bunch of rules
’cause that kind of love is just for fools
And I’m over it
And my reasons for walking away
My reasons for wanting to change
My reasons for everything I lost with you…
