JR
You never asked me
to dance
I just wanted
to dance
from the moment
I met you

Something in my heart
and a little bit my head too
tells me
this is absolutely the wrong thing
to do
the B road
the wrong road
I hear my Momma’s warning
I see myself
tomorrow morning
but I’m going  in anyway
and I’m going in deep
see you on the other side
of the wrong thing to do

I know you couldn’t leave me
if you tried
You know I couldn’t leave you
if I tried
and so the golden ink
of trying
burns sacred scars
upon our souls.

my voice is a burden
you don’t need
my words a worry
you don’t need
my serious about serious
you don’t need
my noisiness about noise
you don’t need
my simpleness about simple
you don’t need
my pureness about pure
you don’t need
my world upon yours
you really  really
don’t need
my version of love
you honestly don't need.

I went to sleep last night
with someone
I hardly know
I woke up this morning
with someone
I don’t want to know
I went to sleep last night
like I always do
alone.

And
here’s my smile
you always said you liked it
not sure I own it anymore
take it
not sure I want it anymore
and
you always said you liked it.

What are you talking about
It doesn’t matter
You said
What are you talking about
It’s all that matters
I said
What are you both shouting about
Our child said.
