March slept between us blossoming Hyacinths and Matthiola
Left to dry in my notebook bleeding the words to a song
I promised you I'd write
I promised you I'd write
The damnest detail now is that you've known
The tears I cried
They hollow out the barkless body and parch the soil
Your roots just left behind
Stay away, stay away, stay away if you don't want to lose me
Stay away, stay away, stay away when you hold me so close
Stay away, stay away, stay away if you want to be with me
Stay away, stay away, stay away when you hold me so close
Bitter gratitude has come to me
Now that I re-emerged out of the picture
I had painted after my approximation of the perfect me
Inside your mind, perfect me inside your mind
I was a jigsaw jammed into place
And now I'm torn, I'm torn brushstroke by brushstroke
Waiting to be reimagined, reimagined by someone else's eyes
From the empty promise of your arms
Stay away, stay away, stay away if you don't want to lose me
Stay away, stay away, stay away when you hold me so close
Stay away, stay away, stay away if you want to be with me
Stay away, stay away, stay away when you hold me so close
