Daddy's Hand
Disconnection
Don't Clap
I Hate Rain
Silence
Soft
Sticky Fingers
The Thing Is...
You Piss Me Off

 

Disconnection

You said you didn't feel
There was a connection
Between you and I

You said you didn't understand
Why, I was the perfect woman
And everything you wanted

You said there was nothing wrong with me
You said I was kind, sweet and nice
And you still wanted to be friends

You said, they said you should be honest
You said you'd rather tell me now
Than leave it till it got too hard

We sat speechless on separate sofas
We didn't enjoy our Sunday morning
And didn't dare ask why

You said you believed in 'the one'
And never knew
How much I wanted it to be me

So much, I was too scared to ask
Myself if it was you, and I choked
On your kisses and compassion

You said you felt
There was no connection
But connection is not a feeling

I felt insecure and unworthy
I felt self conscious and ashamed
I felt afraid you wouldn't like me

You decided there was no connection
I didn't have a choice
I said that you were right

Because there was nothing there
To fight for, Nothing to convince
You, Nothing there to lose

So it was easy to disconnect
Because you never knew me
And I never let you.
