A whole year turned round
While you kept me guessin
Hardly a sound
You think I’d learn my lesson
The truth wasn’t told
Was it an intermission?
I wanna watch this unfold
It could be better
It could be worse
Sometimes you’re a blessing
Especially when you undress me
I’ve never been certain
I’m surprised you still think I’m worth it
My love speaks so softly
In whispers
Did you say my name?
Good listener
But I couldn’t hear how faint
You whispered
Do you love me the same
What else can I say?
Felt like restarting
Was giving up on giving up
Was empty hearted
And brand new walls were going up
As complicated as it was
To return to being loved
I untangled the tufts
It could be better
It could be worse
Sometimes you’re a blessing
Especially when you undress me
I’ve never been certain
I’m surprised you still think I’m worth it
My love speaks so softly
In whispers
Did you say my name?
Good listener
But I couldn’t hear how faint
You whispered
Do you love me the same
What else can I say?
