Lyrics

[00:00.01] half-gift
[00:04.98] cocteau twins
[00:12.52] It's an old game, my love
[00:18.12] When you can't have me, you want me
[00:23.06] Because you know that you're not risking anything
[00:35.43] Intimacy is when we're in the same place at the same time
[00:45.20] Dealing honestly with how we feel, and who we really are
[00:57.11] That's what grown-ups do
[01:07.80] That is mature thinking
[01:17.25] Well I'm still a junkie for it
[01:22.95] It takes me out of my aloneness
[01:27.90] But this relationship cannot sustain itself
[01:40.39] Intimacy is when we're in the same place at the same time
[01:50.15] Dealing honestly with how we feel, and who we really are
[02:02.04] That's what grown-ups do
[02:12.88] That is mature thinking
[02:23.68] I just have to know how to be in the process
[02:32.94] Of creating things in a better way
[02:44.03] And it hurts but it's a lie that I can't handle it
[02:53.16] I still have a world of me-ness to fulfill
[03:07.02] I still have a life, and it's a rich one even with mourning
[03:19.56] Even with grief and sadness
[03:28.71] I still care about this planet
[03:34.50] I am still connected to nature and to my dreams for myself
[03:49.31] I have my friends, my family.
[03:54.83] I have myself
[03:57.49] I still have me
[04:00.18] I have my friends, my family.
[04:05.91] I have myself
[04:08.15] I still have me
