I can't let you be
cause your beauty won't allow me.
Wrapped in white sheets
like an angel from a bedtime story.
Shut out what they say
cause your friends are f___ed up anyway.
And when they come around
somehow they feel up and you feel down.

When we were kids
we hated things our parents did.
We listened low
to Casey Kasem's radio show.
That's when friends were nice
to think of them just makes you feel nice.
The smell of grass in spring
and October leaves cover everything.

Have you forgotten how to love yourself?

I can't believe all the good things that you do for me.
Sat back in a chair
like a princess from a faraway place.
Nobody's nice
when you're older your heart turns to ice.
And shut out what they say
they're too dumb to mean it anyway.

When we were kids
we hated things our sisters did.
Backyard summer pools
and Christmases were beautiful.
And the sentiment
of coloured mirrored ornaments.
And the open drapes
look out on frozen farmhouse landscapes.

Have you forgotten how to love yourself?
