February - Bedroom Demo

I used to curse the darkness
Drown clutching anchors
But in tongue
Sweet like molasses
You said
It doesn't have to be like this
You set me alight
Loved me in spite
And showed me the world I could find
If I just viewed it through your eyes

To be so light
To feel so heavy
To love you on my knees
You hold me like it's February
And you love me like
You're good for me

You spoke in poetry rhyme
Of better times
A world of my own design
In reach
If you're by my side
You cradled my fears
Collected my tears
Said you could make the weight disappear
And somehow it all becomes clear

To be so light
To feel so heavy
To love you on my knees
You hold me like it's February
And you love me like
You're good for me

I leave your clothes in my wardrobe
Waiting for you to come home
I wear you like skin on bones
You're in my reflection
A ghostly complexion
I wave the white flag and you've won
Stitched up to just come undone

To be so light
To feel so heavy
To love you on my knees
You hold me like it's February
And you love me like
You're good for me

I feel your eyes tracing my body
And I'm trying to chase
A you that still wants me
Your words have consumed me all week
Now my heart and my stomach are empty
You starved me of oxygen
So you could say
You had the power
To take my breath away
From dust to dust
And ashes to ashes
You'll spread my remains
Like you never held the matches

To be so light
To feel so heavy
To love you on my knees
You hold me like it's February
And you love me like
It's good for me

To be so light
To feel so heavy
To love you on my knees
You hold me like it's necessary
And leave me empty
Like it's good for me
