Wondering

Have I given up dreaming?

Come down from ceiling

I won't do that again

Thinking

My misspent history

Mistakes to teach me

I won't do that again



Dreams I kept as a child

Kept me quiet and hypnotised

Cooked away my valentines

Served myself up every night

Couldn't see me for the trees

And all that hallmark poetry

I'm not the girl, I used to be



Wondering

Have I given up dreaming?

Come down from ceiling

I won't do that again

Thinking

My misspent history

Mistakes to teach me

I won't do that again



Trying to break the family ties

Chocolate hearts and tacky lies

Heard a thousand crappy lines

And I believed them every time

So I beg to disagree

Love's not taking all of me

I'm not the girl I used to be
