You can’t have it all
But when I grow up
I’m going to name my kid Heaven
Because I’ll need a little heaven
When all I face is hell
You can’t have it all
But I’ll paint murals and banisters blue
So it’ll make sense that I’m sad when I look at you
Yes I know I can’t have it all
Love:
sweet and real and innocent
I’ll have to look twice at the colours
Of a million lovers who won’t remember my name
But you see I try just like my mother
I dye my eyes in water colours
I coddle my dreams until they’re smothered
I’m canon fodder for the new age lovers
I put on rosemary glasses to cure perception
Of the candid lies and inconceivable deception
That’s life, making a getaway
With my childhood…
That’s life taking me up like a fire on the lips like someone worthwhile to kiss
But even I must die, memento mori
You can’t have it all
Death whispers into the ears of a liar
To the ears of life
