A creation of imperfection
Without infection, so no need for protection
But that man he had me vexin' when there was no need for perplexin'
Just reflection.

Reignite the light in this deep, dark hole
But it was already too cold,
I was feeling old, not so bold.
Tried my best to fit the mould of your world,
Be that untouchable girl that you wanted me to be.
But you see, this girl needs touch,
Not too much,
Just enough to get by,
Avoiding having to lie,
And needing him to try not get too high 'cos, I don't want to die.

But sometimes it felt that way,
The words we'd make each other say,
Arguing tomorrow, ******* today
Fumbling our way through a life, full of strife
But also potential.
Endless potential...

So why let go?

Well things move on and you've got to stay strong 'cos after all there's not that much wrong.
I have my own bed, my own head
An iron fist, full of lead, ready to pound, trying to find the sound
But the sound it found me
And now I'm where I wanna be,
In another man's arms, sure
But he isn't the cure
Just a friend to lend a hand when things don't quite turn out the way you planned.
And this isn't what I planned.
