Sleater-Kinney - The Size Of Our Love lyrics

rate me

Our love is the size of these tumors inside us

Our love is the size of this hospital room,

you're my hospital groom

Put the ring on my finger, so tight it turns blue

A constant reminder I'll die in this room

if you die in this room

Sit like a watchdog and patiently wait

Listen for footsteps down the hallways

visit beds like they're graves

Days go by so slowly

Nights go by so slowly

In a hospital room

In a box built for two

I fight for air, fight for my own air

Forget all the things I can do alone

I fight for a heart. I fight for a strong heart

I fight to never know this sickness you know

But I know its my own, I gave it a home

Our love is the size of these tumors inside us

Our love is the size of this hole in the ground

where my heart's buried now.
