to my love

If I am a little bird
you're my funny little tree
I don't know what it is you see
I don't care what it is you've heard

and you may bend but please don't break
and I may fly but I'll be back
fill the spaces that I lack
understand me when I say
you are so sweet you make me ache

oh my baby, it's true
that I love you
oh darling baby, I'd do
anything for you

and we must eat
and we must sleep
remind me I'm still alive
when I forget to breathe

and you are strong
where I am weak
and I make it softer when
your eyes begin to bleed

​and in the summer we will grow
shed our clothes and shed our skins
shed our fears and shed our sins
​look inside and we will know whatever else there is to know
