Cocteau Twins
Half-Gifts
[Verses]
It's an old game, my love
When you can't have me, you want me
Because you know that you're not risking anything

[Chorus]
Intimacy is when we're in 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

[Chorus]
Intimacy is when we're in 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
[Bridge]
I just have 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
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

[Verses]
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

I have my friends, my family
I have myself
I still have me
