a song about love and acceptance of self through another set of eyes and the pain once those eyes have left you to yourself.
lyrics
The note you left is hanging in my closet. The note you sent is riding with me on my dashboard. The piece you kept to yourself all of the time, well, I can understand that; because what are we really getting from sharing everything? Like how you used to admire my stretchmarks, then you said, you'd fall asleep while making constellations out of my freckles. I wonder how this woman could love me. I am led into a time machine so that we could have a new beginning. I wonder whether you were the tiger or the lily.
