Cocteau Twins - Half-gifts lyrics

rate me

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
