lyrics

I'm feeling anorexic and I'm full of dread.
So goddamn heavy can't get out of bed.
Lazy like a tortoise I'm living through the ages, moving very slowly gets me through these changes.
I've eyes like passive window that don't see at all.
And oh god I've fallen again. Oh god I've fallen again.

I'm leaning on coffee like it's a dependency.
I want to go to bed because I hate everything.
Walking though a minefield - the edges are marked,
wondering sadly dazed how I got this far.
I think I need someone to help me take the strain.
Oh god I've fallen again. Oh god I've fallen again.

I'm your sister I'm your lover I'm your everything baby.
I can't make him see so please god lead it back to me
I lost it before when I was much smaller, got pushed out in the rain to make me grow taller.
Give me time on my own make me learn make me grow, make me suck in the strength to bring it back home.
You make me sad make wet make me want to forget make me laugh make me cry want to lay down and die make me stand up and fight with all of my might as ache and I burn I toss and I turn.
I'm strong and I'm weak I fight and I bleed , I must make you see how I hurt and I need and I;m better than that, I'm better than that oh I'm better than that babe

Don't make love a dirty word, don't make love a dirty word etc.
