For Marlon - Soko

I broke my toes

Coz when I’m sad

I get as clumsy as a stupid clown

But you’re way too young to understand

And I’m way too desperate to be sane

So I fall for you like a fool for gold

Coz you look so pure and I love your voice

I can hear the cracks of your youthful heart

And it makes me wanna be

A part of that

Till I said

What’s there on your arm

You said don’t look, please don’t ask

I know you won’t like to know that

I’m a recovering addict and sometimes I relapse

But if I get sober

Would you swear to love me

If I get sober

Would you care for me

And as I was ready and didn’t care to doubt

The wheel has spin and left a drought

I thought I knew back then to never ever trust

Someone for who drugs come first

And I think there’s no love

But just proof of love

And you’ve just proved me

That you’d never care

And it’s been raining now for 3 days straight

As a sad reflect of my sorry state

And I remember you said with me you felt

The best that you’ve ever ever felt

And I think that no drugs can replace

The warmth and tenderness that we embraced

And if you get sober

I will be here for you

If you get sober

I’ll be yours for good
