You were no ivy, clinging to his wall
You were a sunflower, standing strong and tall
We all need to lean, a stick of bamboo
Keeps the sunflower from drooping, from feeling so blue
But you were no ivy, clinging to his wall
You were a sunflower, standing strong and tall
And you were no shadow, he cast in his light
You were shadows, he felt on the ceiling of night
We all need the light
We all needed skydance, but we also need shine
A place to hide
You were no shadow, he cast in his light
You were shadows, he felt on the ceiling of night
I have to tell myself all day
I have to tell myself all day
All in time
I have to tell myself all in time
I have to tell myself all day
I have to tell myself all in time
I lay on the bed
I lay naked in bed
day but I lay down the law before I let down my hair his body turned over halfway through the
night and he turned on the light and began to write but the words that came out of my mouth
and my mind were they his words or were they mine I have to tell myself all the time
I have to tell myself all the time
I have to tell myself all the time
I have to tell myself all the time
I waited for a flare I waited for me I
waited for a flare I waited for me I waited to hear the one I lost so I'd let the wind blow

For a message told
Was saved by no say
With what words and what memories
I have left behind
I've made my own impossible
Bottle to find
Set to dark sleep
Breathed in the blue
Nothing better
Nothing worse
Nothing else I could do
I have to tell myself all the time
I have to tell myself all the time
I have to tell myself all the time
I have to tell myself all the time
I have to tell myself all the time
I have to tell myself all the time

I have to tell myself all the time
I have to tell myself all the time I have to tell myself all the time
