All the Things...

I have the weight of the world on my chest
Well, sometimes it feels that way, For real
When my mind's at it's best I still feel afraid
Light turns to dark and my tears turn to ice
As I turn to my lover and thinking I'm right
I tell only the truth, every last little thing that I knew
All the things that I did and
All the things that I didn't do
From the start I moved heaven and earth
Just to take you to dinner
And boy was that worth all the years
That would follow us around and around and around
In all of that spinning I know now how I didn't know what I needed to know
I bury my feelings down deep where my heart never goes
All the things that I did and
All the things that I didn't know
So what began as a fairy tale, we know, became very real
Scary and, at times, too much
But we'd held it together then we'd double down on our luck
For all of the times I counted the lines in your hair as you slept by my side
I'm sure that you cried, and you cried, and you cried
So did I, All the things that I did and
All the things that I didn't try
Off in the distance I see you once more
We laugh at the stories
We cried to before
I'll tell you where I've been
You'll tell me how you've been
We'll laugh
We'll laugh again
The story will go
The story of how the end came to be
How you became you
How I became me
How we became lovers
How we became friends
Sisters and brothers
Beginning to end
It's four in the morning
I'm telling this story about what you taught me of love
They hear what I'm saying but no way they know what I know
I know I'll take you with me everywhere I take my body and soul
I'll take others too but not one any more than you
All the things that I did and
All the things that I didn't do
All the things that I did and
All the things that I didn't do
