that's just how I am

I watch what I can't have

the poise and grace of her deep dark world

cannot fit in my hands

and even if she begged me

which she will never do

I can't unfold, can't bring her close

even if I wanted to

I know that I'm no good for her

but knowing's not much help

it can't unthink the thoughts I have

the wet drag of her mouth

the poise and grace of her deep dark world

cannot fit in my hands

and the cruelest way I learned to move

was when she taught me how to dance

and if I dared to reach for more

I'd crumble 'neath the weight

of nights that slipped through fingers

when I'm left to contemplate

cause the softest thing in the whole wide world

is far from where I'll be

and if the sky collapsed tonight

that end would set me free

and I'm not scared of anything

and nothing matters more

than the times in which I've seen her and I watched her

close that door

Look, she called the birds, I sit as they dive down

tearing me apart from my ankles to my crown

it was all my fantasy, the sweetest sin I'd know

as the white comes over me, I see her as I go
