Born in a tree
Hopelessly wondering
Real life above
Real life below
But you're too young to know
Too young to know

Born to lie
Love is resistance
Your hand in the air
Your heart in the ground
But you're too clever to know
Too clever to know

I can't love you now
I can't love you now

Born to a crown
Ladies in waiting
So ready for love
Ready to sing
But you're too stubborn to see
No heart is a trophy

I can't love you now
I can't love you now

But I'll rest your soul tonight
And you'll tell me everything you are
Leave your horse at the well
In the unfamiliar dark
Rest your soul tonight
And I'll tell you everything I'm not
Not a trophy nor a crown
Don't ask me to love you now
