It’s not mine to hold
This girl who’s made of fields of gold
And I forget to shield
I drop the armour in the yield
And someone calls me cute
Don’t you know I can be a brute
I’m not what you think I am
And I am here to destroy your plan
As you hold it like cards to your chest
And I’m playing the one who knows best
But you break at the last hurdle
I watch as your oats start to curdle
In the bowl with the milk you’ve spilt
And every flower is made to wilt
He spiralled the galaxy
Then left with the best of me
To make stars with another
The only thing he sees in a woman is a mother
To him and his child
And I left that garden for the wild
So that I could grow
Amid the briars and the thorns and the things I don’t know
To become more fully real
Not cocooned in what I feel
As you try to tell me it’s my best trait
So I get mad when I take the bait
And realise all too late
That leaving you was the best part of our fate
