Slowly

The stubborn, unyielding hand of grief Traces my spine as I fall asleep All of her memories buried deep Swim to the surface to haunt me Although alone I feel no rest I'm not enough at my best Don't call me baby, please resist I've had all that I can take of this Somewhere between us there exists The hint of a spark and the youth of kids Finding escape through drinks and pills Though my heart aches, It feels, dear, too So when I fall for you Let me down slowly, Let me down easy I am not whole, nor you Don't try to hold me Love has been kind between the sheets But not before she's had enough of me Yours is a light I haven't seen Though my heart aches it fills with you So when I fall for you Let me down slowly, Let me down easy I am not whole, nor you Don't try to hold me I have met love, she is pure and true No more my heart aches, it is full of you And when you fall for me I'll let you down slowly, let you down easy We are not broken, nor weak Love you have shown me
