All that I was singing - were exercises in love
Of someone behind whose back
There was always a home.
But today I'm alone
At festive table;
I wish happiness to every door
Shut behind me.
I never wanted to want you
Like this,
But now I'm full of light,
As if I knew where I was going.
And this day my room is a cage
Where there's no you...
You know what I mean.
All I want;
All I want,
Is you.
I sang about things I knew.
I knew something;
But, God, I don't remember what I was like back then.
I used to say "I love" until I was told "no";
And when I was told "no",
I didn't believe and waited for them to say "yes",
And when I woke this morning, it was so strange to know
That we lay, separated, as friends;
But I don't tolerate the word "friends",
I don't tolerate the word "love",
I don't tolerate the word "always",
I don't tolerate words.
I don't need words to tell you that you -
Is all I want...
