I'M GLAD I NEVER LET MYSELF FALL

You were always honest, cuttingly so.
but still I liked you
You never lied to me, not once
and still I wanted you
I could have been hurt, I’m glad I never let myself fall.

If I’d have let myself, I could have shown you this and that
wanting to know if you liked them
If I’d have let myself, I could have waited on your opinion,
somehow now important
I could have been hurt, I’m glad I never let myself fall

If I’d have let myself, I could have shown contentment
just stroking your dark hair, smiling at the grey ones
If I’d have let myself, I could have stayed in the bed, holding
when you wanted. Thinking of someone else?
I could have been hurt, I’m glad I never let myself fall

And now it’s over, in the way it was always fated
If I’ve cried, it’s just for… I don’t know, hormones?
It’s done now and I have nothing to berate you for,
You were honest with me from the very beginning
I could have been hurt, I’m glad I never let myself fall.
