tchotckes

i'm sorry baby

if i'm not as adventurous

as i used to be

 

if the bits you know of me

are the remnants

of a love i had to set free

 

i'm sorry

if a little joke

can set me off

make me pull away

and doubt your care

 

i

am filled with remnants

of a love that didn't have

much to spare

 

so sorry if i'm not as brave

or adventurous

or if i stand back

at the slightest hint

of us coming to an end

 

darling, i

might be scared

to love again

 

 

 

 

 

 

(so take my hand

and hold me close,

reign me in

kiss the tip of my nose

 

i'm sorry you only get to see

the pieces left of a more youthful me

but i hope you like the tchotchkes

the way you seem to like me)
