The Lover in Me (Hidden Track)

The lover in me died

She wasn’t there to hold you

I let it all inside

And poured it through your eyes

The seeds of what I’m for

Germinating in my skull

Took me over while I swore it was all lies

'Til the day I wasn’t sure

And I let the lover in me die

She’s sleeping by the highway

Soft brown earth and vines

She’s fading from your mind

Don’t think about the names

They used to call us names

I’ll never give airtime to

The righteous anger in our hands

My hand would always find you

She wasn’t there to hold you

When I made you feel worthless

There is no soft place waiting

With dark brown earth and vines

I’m not a unicorn

I’m not a baby fairy

I am a human woman

I’ll be one all my life

The lover in me died

Died on a random Wednesday

Died staring at a screen

I didn’t say goodbye

I didn’t say goodbye

I’m not anyone you know

I’m not anyone you know now

I’m not anyone you know now

I’m not anyone you know

I stopped smoking before bedtime

So that I could ride the horses

So that I could see you smiling

And remember when I open up my eyes

The lover in me died

She wasn’t there to hold you

I let it all inside

Poured it through your eyes

I didn’t say goodbye
