I was born next to my mother She sang me to sleep And I grew to adore my father As he drowned in a drink And I know that I should be grateful For the things they taught I was raised to be so damn faithful I didn’t need a god Time is crazy My grandmother made up a lie of her life When she died well she gave me A necklace that came from the sky Said my grandfather made it out of gold and diamond That always reminded him Of what life could have been
So when I say I love you I want to mean it Cause I say a lot of things that I don’t mean And when I say I want to I want to mean it Cause I know not to say yes to just anything
Hope to die next to my daughter Let her sing to me sleep Having made the mistakes of a mother Still I taught her to breathe When you’re low and you’re deep underwater Stay faithful, remember what you love So when the world gets painful You become your own god I could daydream Sit back and think of a mythical life But the seasons change And the tragic thing is that you can’t live it twice I try to be brave and tell her that We’ll meet again that we’d met before But I’m not really so sure
So when I say I love you I want to mean it Cause I say a lot of things that I don’t mean And when I say I want to I want to mean it Cause I know not to say yes to just anything
So when I say I love you I want to mean it Cause I say a lot of things that I don’t mean And when I say I want to I want to mean it Cause I know not to say yes to just anything So when I say I love you I want to mean it Cause I say a lot of things that I don’t mean And when I say I want to I want to mean it Cause I know not to say yes to just anything
