Sings his sad songs for dirty lovers
Keep my legs crossed underneath his dirty covers
He’s not a child, and I’m not a mother
Still he rose, he implodes right through my wonder
And he holds me
Like a lover
So tender, like I might break
When he leaves, feels like he’s haunting every hallway
While I fumble, through the echo of my name
And I know, I know, I know - if I don’t make it back home
He’ll love me just the same
He holds me, like a lover
So tender, like I might break
If I see he’s going under
I brave the water we both change
It’s a risk I won’t take, a name I won’t say
A game I won’t play, a dance I won’t save
I got down on my knees, begging to be released
From this tender embrace and this smile on my face
Wandered out on my own, down roads I don’t know
and hands I won’t hold, a truth I can’t show
Stepped outside of myself, and I feel dead now
He holds me, like a lover
So tender, like I might break
Everything, everything
