With soft kisses
He reduces my ire to pieces
Stacks them in little parcels
Embellished by beautiful tassels
Sends them flying like peaceful angels

Trying to break out of the mould
that our society has imposed
I don’t want to grow old
with a blindfold

My heart didn’t break
But my belly did ache
Fear gnawed my insides
Ain’t no one to brave the tides
But me, myself and I
I could no longer deny
I know he rues the day
He left me for another lay
I saw the signs
Didn’t I tell you
I’m good at reading
between the lines?

Let my hands
tell you the story
of my mind

the less I say
the more you lie
the more you play
the less I sigh
the more you betray
the less I cry
why don’t you go away
I’m not going to ask why

I can’t imagine loving another
Let alone living with another
So let’s make us last forever

My love was free
Unlike yours, on a spree
To collect any she
Willing to trust thee
