Kelso's blog: "sung"

In the mornings
I was anxious
It's better just to stay in bed
Didn't want to fail myself again

Running through all the options
And the endings
Were rolling out in front of me
But I couldn't choose a thread to begin

And I could not love
Coz I could not love myself
Never good enough, no
That was all I'd tell myself
And I was not well
But I could not help myself
I was giving up on living

In the morning
You were leaving
Travelling south again
And you said you were not unprepared

And all the dead ends
And disappointments
Were fading from your memory
Ready for that lonely life to end

And you gave me love
When I could not love myself
And you made me turn
From the way I saw myself
And you're patient, love
And you help me help myself
And you save me
And you save me
Yeah you save me

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and I feel so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
Part of me believing it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and I feel so rough
And you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

If I was a better man
Would fellow men take me to their hearts?
If I was a stronger man
Carrying the weight of popular demand
Tell me
would that alarm her?
I'd never harm her at all.
If I was a soldier
captive arms I'd lay before her.
If I was a sailor
seven oceans I'd sail to her.
If I was a wiser man
Would other men reach out and touch me?
If I was a kinder man
Dishing out love for a hungry world
Tell me would that appease her?
 I want to please her again.
If I was a painter
I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her.
If I was a leader
On food of love from above I would feed her.
If I was a poet
All my love and burning words I would show it.
If I was a lover Her eyes in kisses I would cover.

Come here
my baby
oh they can't touch you now
I'll keep you safe and warm
I'll never leave you at all.
Come here
my baby
oh
they won't touch you

Dishing up love for a hungry world
tell me
would that appease you?
I want to please you again.
If I was a soldier
captive arms I'd lay before her.
If I was a sailor
seven oceans I'd sail to her.
If I was a painter
I'd paint a world that couldn't taint her.
If I was a leader
on food of love from above I would feed her.
