I have the weight of the world on my chest Well sometimes it feels that way For real when my minds at its best I still feel afraid Light turns to dark and my tears turn to ice As I turn to my lover and thinking I'm right I tell only the truth every last little thing that I knew All the things that I did and all the things that I didn't do
From the start I moved Heaven and Earth Just to take you to dinner and boy was that worth all the years That would follow us around and around and around And all of that spinnin' I know now How I didn't know what I needed to know I bury my feelings down deep where my heart never goes All the things that I did and all the things that I didn't know
So what began as a fairy tale We know became very real scary, and at times too much But we'd held it together and we doubled down on our luck For all of the times I counted the lines in your hair As you slept by my side I'm sure that you cried and you cried and you cried, so did I All the things that I did and all the things that I didn't try
Off in the distance I see you once more We laugh at the stories we cried to before I'll tell you where I've been, you'll tell me how you've been We'll laugh we'll laugh again The story will go The story of how the end came to be How you became you, how I became me How we became lovers, how we became friends Sisters and brothers, beginning to end
It's four in the morning I'm telling this story about what you taught me of love They hear what I'm saying but no way they know what I know I know I'll take you with me everywhere I take my body and soul I'll take others too but not one anymore than you All the things that I did and all the things that I didn't do All the things that I did and all the things that I didn't do
