Almost Every Time

Started first, had no concern, recognised all that burned
Double sided, you turned the key, opened up everything in me
Spoke her truth
Knew her worth
Simple notes
Sung every hurt
Carry forward all you are
Love another
It’s not in your heart

Almost every time
Almost every time
Almost every time

Just like your mother
Let her stay
On the back step she waits
All alone, in her dark
Fighting shadows in her heart
Cut out your tongue
Every tongue
Every tongue

I can't forget him, no matter how hard I try
It keeps me nowhere, stuck in an infinite imaginary lie
I can’t forgive him, though it keeps me in you
Some other speak him but I’ll always know the truth

Every time
Cut out your tongue
Every time
