lyrics

Tell me I’m clever, tell me I’m pretty
Who is it that loves me, who is it that likes me
One more piece of kibble to outrun the hunger
I’ll stay with you, light of my life

Give me three in the morning, someone is still listening
I’m lonely, convince me I’m above being lonely
The world is so old now, it swells and it sweats
Salt cracked in the pavement, salt staining the bed
If you’re dying I’ll heal you, if you’re dead I’ll replace you
You’ll stay with me, light of my life

The world changes, I change
But you’ll stay the same
New body and face, youth clings to your frame
Pull me up from the dirt, pull me out of the dirge
Tell me I’m still pretty, that I ache more than her
Tell me all I’ve done wrong, there are things I should quit
It is three in the morning, my back feels like shit
Tell me I’m still worthy, tell me I’m still young
Lie to me light of my life

I love you, I hate you, I need you, where are you
I’ll tear up the floorboards to hold you again
I’ll cradle you soft, in my two loyal hands
Until they are sore and broken and cracked
But you’ll be still beautiful, you’ll be still young
And you’ll show me all of the things that I’ve done
Yes, you’ll be still beautiful, you’ll be still young
And you’ll show me how I was beautiful once

I am yours, light of my life
Always yours, light of my life
