Kissing People Close To Me*

You keep kissing people close to me

And the imagery is harsh

And I try to just get over it

But it’s hard

And I guess that it’s all part of it

I have to feel it to move through it

But it’s embarrassing to know

That it hurts as much as it does

My work is to dig up the roots

Stand back, and see where it’s coming from

My work is to let you loose

It’s not yours

And I’m sorry you faced it at all

I’m sorry you felt it at all

But I don’t want you in my house

I don’t want you in my bed

I’m pretty fucked up now

And I was fragile back then

He called again, on the edge of killing himself

It’s the third time this year, I don’t know what to say anymore

He called again, on the edge of killing himself

It’s thе third time this year, I don’t know what to say anymore

I don’t know what to say anymorе

But you’re the only one who knows

The weight of what that means

You were there when I surfaced

All that heartbreak was a dream

And you’re the only one who knows

The weight of all this pain

The memories just frozen

On some alien plane

I hope that you figure out where

My love hasn’t gone anywhere

Caught up in a physical form

Honey, my love is so much more

So much more

You’re the only one who knows

You’re the only one who knows
