There's no gentle way There's no safe place For the heart to hang When the body's no good Am I meant to fray the edge? On the outside looking in All used up But never used enough To me love was always a hidden thing Stolen moment at a time A feeling only held for a little while And then ripped from your arms Like a child I carry their names The secret shapes An aching braid Around my heart Traced in the park An outline I chalk Where I took his hand in mine For a little while, everything was alright
