歌词
[Verse 1]
Got a highlight reel of all the times I made somebody cry
As a selfish, reckless, less invested friend than what I came by
Some bad ideas about what loving is left an awful residue
Ain't no way for me to unring all the bells I rang in my youth
[Chorus]
Oh, the women I have loved
And left injured in the shadow of
My childhood dysfunctions playing out in real time
Were that when I was younger
I could've put to use my wonder
To imagine better ways a healthy partner is defined
Oh, the women I have loved
And the wounds I left behind
[Verse 2]
I thought the well-drawn line between our clothes meant our brains were different kinds
I could not relate because the subtle shape of theirs was not the same as mine
I was insensitive and hyper sensitive, a duality not lost on me
Thought that love was just these feelings with no regard for what a lover needs
[Chorus]
Oh, the women I have loved
And left injured in the shadow of
My childhood dysfunctions playing out in real time
Were that when I was younger
I could've put to use my wonder
To imagine better ways a healthy partner is defined
Oh, the women I have loved
And the wounds I left behind
[Bridge]
Finally got myself a therapist
Well, I was such a little wounded astronaut
Treating women like accessories
And mirrors to reflect my broken parts
[Outro]
Oh, the women I have loved and have left scattered
Like their presence never mattered much to mine
Were that I could go back
And do the best with the letter
Perhaps I could do better in that timeline
Oh, the women I have loved
And the wounds I left behind
