Us (This Can't Be)

I feel a little sad but I don’t feel bitter
I feel a little bad but did you consider
The weight of my time, that you let me drive by
I know that you don’t and it’s too hard to handle
The size of the boat the wind in my sails
And this can’t be enough
And this can’t be us
Why did you try to change your mind
Why did you try so hard to try
To love me
I loved you
A lot more
Why does it always feel the same
So hard on my heart and so fucked in my brain and this can’t be enough
And this can’t be us
The irony is that we can’t be forgiven
I can’t really say that I don’t like a rhythm and you gave me your time
And I gave you mine
I guess it’s hard to forget about it
You’ll forget about it in time
It feels so hard to forget about it
Guess it’s the same as the last time we fell into loam and then sprouted our roots to make way for a home it’s fully grown
I know that you did but right now you feel different the change in our attitude had to have shifted
And we’re not enough
And this can’t be us

I absorb your every drop of doubt like water I can’t live without like shame is bread, and life, instead of poisonous erasure.
A pain I still enjoy
And you still act annoyed, why can’t you accept my shape that shifts and softens sharpens aches
Or fits into a vessel larger than life or us together I will love and Learn apart if you can still reject my heart together
I will give you up if that’s what I must do to fan a brighter flame and trust. I will
Turn and toil until I learn to till the soil and feel the burning sun upon my forehead I will

When did the story get so hard to change
Like the end of a movie gone wrong?
When the winter began
With its head in the sand
And a laundry list worry so long
Why did I ever think you’d choose your kindness instead of the riff raff that crowded your attic
It’s time for the old ways to die with the old days remember we’re not all alone after all
It’s time for the old ways to die like a comet goodbye in a sonnet it’s no good just swallow your pride
It’s time
When did our uncles get so hard to hear?
See everything’s different now everything’s clear
Why did I ever think you choose to listen instead of the lies that you read
Now you’re filled with poison and poison you Breed

I guess empathy and sympathy are not supposed to be the same at all
Like crowding all the little things inside myself would help to make me feel so small
I guess my little nest
Could bring about more rest if I build it up a little taller
I guess I never thought that I could do a lot
But I’m getting stronger
Wrapping up inside myself and never giving ups a lot to handle
In giving into dancing round the room to build you up I light a candle
Guess I’m at the top again just waiting for another rock to bring me to the ground
While waiting in the living room I know I sing an honest tune though I don’t hear a sound
You’re not around
Ondine I guess you had to go and I still think about you everyday
How the little things got better and the bigger ones got up and walked away
They felt your fierce protection and I felt a deep objection to the way they made you feel
But you still healed

Wait in the garden
I’m by your side
Wait with the ladybugs
They’ve got the time
Though it all looks so different
We don’t seem to mind
We’re just a couple of bugs a snail and a slug and we’re fine
Perch on the branch of your favorite tree
Reading another sweet book like the last one you took from the bees
Your mind is a garden
Sowing thought as you go
We’re just a couple of bugs a snail and a slug don’t you know
Take my hand as we wander all over these hills past all these places we used to know they left us long ago weeping and still
We’ll find a new context
Still a bit wet
We’re just a couple of bugs a snail and a slug still content
