No Lies, Just Love
It was in the march of the winter I turned seventeenThat I bought those pillsI thought I would needAnd I wrote a letter to my familySaid it's not your faultAnd you've been good to meIt's just lately I've been feelingLike I don't belongLike the ground's not mine to walk uponAnd I've heard that musicEcho through the houseWhere my grandmother drankBy herselfAnd I sat watching a flowerAs it was witheringI was embarrassed by its honestySo I'd prefer to be remembered as a smiling faceNot this fucking wreckThat's taken its place
So please forgive what I have doneNo you can't stay mad at the setting sunCause we all get tired, I mean eventuallyThere is nothing left to do but sleep
But spring came bearing sunlightThose persuasive raysSo I gave myself a few more daysMy salvation it came, quite suddenlyWhen Justin spoke very plainlyHe said "Of course it's your decision,But just so you know,If you decide to leave,Soon I will follow"
I wrote this for a babyWho has yet to be bornMy brother's first childI hope that womb's not too warmCause it's cold out hereAnd it'll be quite a shockTo breathe this airTo discover lossSo I'd like to make some changesBefore you arriveSo when your new eyes meet mineThey won't see no liesJust love.Just love.
I will be pureNo, no, I know I will be pureLike snow, like goldLike snow, like goldLike snow, like snowLike gold, like gold, like gold
