Soft & Sweet - A Portrait of a Lover

Well, I've got no more tears left
And every muscle that I move just steals my breath
And I can't take yours like I used to
My body's deformed, it's confined; incorrect
I'm not as strong as I pretend to
I'm terrified of what the future could possibly hold
And so I dream of what I can't choose
A clean bill of health and a chance to grow old

I'll never get the chance to be a mother
You're staring at the portrait of a lover
And do I still look like Hepburn?
I'm not the girl you remember
That's why I hate that you love me

Then tell me how it feels to live like that
Knowing that your love is ending fast
And are my lips still recovery?
I'm not the girl that you saw in me
I'm a thief who's too scared to leave

And last night I dreamt forever
The sutures split and so they freed my butterfly wings
And as the wires start to sever
I leap to the Earth and surprised what it brings
I feel suspended over thin-air
And all the people that I pass just look like ants
I can't remember what it's like there
The trumpets blow as the Jesters dance

But I'll never get the chance to be a mother
You're staring at the portrait of a lover
And do I still look like Hepburn?
I'm not the girl you remember
That's why I hate that you love me

Then tell me how it feels to live like that
Knowing that your love is ending fast
And are my lips still recovery?
I'm not the girl that you saw in me
I'm a thief who's too scared to leave

And if I kiss you one more time, will I make this goodbye?
If I close my eyes tonight, will I make this goodbye?
If I start to scream and fight, will I make this goodbye?
If I kiss you one more time, will I make this goodbye?
(Goodbye)

I never got the chance to be a mother
You're staring at the portrait of a lover
And do I still look like Hepburn?
I'm not the girl you remember
That's why I hate that you love me

Then tell me how it feels to live like that
Knowing that your love is ending fast
And are my lips still recovery?
I'm not the girl that you saw in me
I'm a thief who's too scared to leave
