Half Gifts

Cocteau Twins

It's an old game, my love

When you can't have me you want me

Because you know

that you're not risking anything

Intimacy is when

we're in the same place at the same time

dealing honestly with how we feel, and who we really are

That's what grown-ups do

That is mature thinking

Well I'm still a junkie for it

It takes me out of my aloneness

But this relationship cannot sustain itself

Intimacy is when

we're in the same place at the same time

dealing honestly with how we feel, and who we really are

That's what grown-ups do

That is mature thinking

I just have to know

how to be in

the process

of creating things in a better way

And it hurts but it's a lie

that I can't handle it

I still have a world of me-ness to fulfill

I still have a life, and it's a rich one

even with mourning

Even with grief and sadness

I still care about

this planet, I am still connected to nature

and to my dreams for myself

I have my friends

My family

I have myself

I still have me

I have my friends

My family

I have myself

I still have me
