Don't Go Changin'

I'm trying to hold on
To something that's slipping from my fingers
There will be others
There will be others
There will be others
Bigger
Stronger
More Attentive Lovers

He is not not attentive
He is somewhere else
He is busy
What can you ask of someone you hardly know?

Choose me
Choose me
Choose me

I don't even know if I want him anymore
(Obviously, I do)
But I don't burn for him any more
I don't long as deeply
And I don't see him in the street

It feels a bit sad
When your feelings change
The letting go
It's deep and it starts the tears
Even when you know there's no reason to shed any

And I'm bored
And I'm beginning to see the cracks
And I'm here and he's not

Plain and simple
And yet the tears are ready to spring into action

I am comforted
Knowing
That I'm making space for many gods
I am the goddess
Clearing out my heaven
For 1 or 5 or 10 lucky ones

As a child
I made friends with tree stumps
There were 3
But I only remember 2
Well, I only remember the names of 2
Olivia and Gerard
Gerard because my dad had a very fat co-worker
And this stump was very large
Olivia because I thought it was the most beautiful name
And this stump got lots of sunshine and was petite
I wish I could remember
All the things I told them
