Full Me, Half You

(album: Hiraeth - 2023)

Damn I'm so much like my Mother
Blinded by a tempting light
Should have learned it from my Father
But maybe you were clear
Couldn't even see the forest for the trees
And maybe you were water
Moving like a current
That brought me to my knees

I went in for a two
Gave a full me to a half you
Babe, at least I tried
What did you do?
What did you do?
I went in for the new
But you're in the old and overdue
Babe, at least I tried
What did you do?
What did you do?

Saw her face there on the wire
My heart dropped
I didn't have you as a liar
But you sold me on your glitter
In the light of winter
Gold is ash and dust
But I was a beginner
Didn't even consider
We wouldn't be us

I went in for a two
Gave a full me to a half you
Babe, at least I tried
What did you do?
What did you do?
I went in for the new
But you're in the old and overdue
Babe, at least I tried
What did you do?
What did you do?

But maybe my desire
Set us both on fire
Burning only me
Thank you for December
Giving me the embers
God they're bittersweet
