When I Was An Orphan

(album: And You Were A Crow - 2008)

I can see your face
Call it breaking me alright
Pretty soon your heart will be gone
You can have the best of me
I'll just take the rest of me
Why are we growing apart
Ripping out the guts
Where there's something to save

Can you take more, take more All I've asked for
Can you make sure, make sure I come after

Passin out your plastic that
Couldn't care, couldn't care
Tell your turn and back that
I'll trade you for no one
When I was an orphan and you were a crow
I couldn't believe you were sayin it so
I held out my arms like Love for such a laugh
Ohhh I follow forgiveness back to the sun
If you and I were the only ones to stay
Well how is it supposed to be now

I can see the bones of indifference its sickening
Sticking through the side of the fool I became
Another photograph to kiss me in the morning
Now can I call you back you don't treat me the same

Can you fake more, fake more childish laughter
Can you make sure, make sure I come after

Lipstick on the glass left to figure out, figure out
Patch your pretty promise it's the gift that you gave
When you were a daughter and I was the sky
I never remembered feelin so bad
You pulled my hair and I smashed your telephone

Ohh your set in your ways
Now change for me
And I said it so clear
Still you didn't agree
You just left it to chance
As if some way its free
And it failed
How is it supposed to be now

Starting a sentence is getting us nowhere
Heart from the hope that you held in your hand
Starting a sentence is getting us nowhere
Heart from the hope that you held in your hand

Take more, take more all I ask for
Can you make sure, make sure I come after
Can you take more, take more all I ask for
Can you make sure, make sure I come after
