The special two - live version

MISSY HIGGINS

I've hardly been outside my room in days

'Cause I don't feel that I deserve the sunshine's rays

The darkness helped until the whiskey wore away

And it was then I realize the conscience never fades

When you're young you have this image of your life

That you'll be scrupulous and one day even make a wife

And you make boundaries you'd never dream to cross

And if you happen to you wake completely lost

But I will fight for you, be sure that I will fight

Until we're the special two once again

And we will only need each other, we'll bleed together

Our hands would not be taught to hold another's

'Cause we're the special two

And we can only see each other, we'll breathe together

These arms will not be taught to need another's

'Cause we're the special two

I remember someone old once said to me

That lies will lock you up with truth the only key

I was comfortable and warm inside my shell

And couldn't see this place could soon become my hell

So is it better to tell and hurt or lie to save their face?

Well, my guess the answer is don't do it in the first place

I know, I'm not deserving of your trust from you right now

But if by chance you change your mind

You know I will not let you down

'Cause we were the special two and will be again

And we will only need each other, we'll bleed together

Our hands would not be taught to hold another's

'Cause we're the special two

And we can only see each other, we'll breathe together

These arms will not be taught to need another's

We're the special two

I step outside my mind's eyes for a minute

And I look over me like a doctor looking for disease

Or something that could ease the pain

But nothing cures the hurt, you, you bring on boy yourself

Just remembering, just remembering how we were

And we would only need each other, we'd bleed together

These hands would not be taught to hold another's

We were the special two

And we could only see each other, we'd bleed together

These arms would not be taught to need another's

'Cause we're the special two
