Half-Gifts - Cocteau Twins

It’s an old game, my love

If you can’t have me you want me

Because you know

You’re not risking anything

Intimacy is when

We’re at the same place at the same time

Dealing honestly with how we feel

And who we really are

That’s what grown-ups do

That is mature thinking

Well I’m still a junkie for it

It takes me out of my aloneness

But this relationship cannot sustain itself

Intimacy is when

We’re at the same place at the same time

Dealing honestly with how we feel

And who we really are

That’s what grown-ups do

That is mature thinking

I just want to know

How to be in the process

Of creating things in a better way

And it hurts but it’s a lie

That I can’t handle it

Cause I still have a world of me-ness to fulfill

I still have a life and it’s a rich one

Even with mourning

Even with grief and sadness

I still care about

This planet I am still connected to nature

And to my dreams for myself

I have my friends

My family

I have myself

I still have me
