Carina Round
"Do You"

See me down, see me up
See those wings you gave me?
Watch me fly across the sea
Count the ways you made me

I walked in circles, walked the line
Tripped through tangled heart strings
Made an enemy of time
Made a mess of all things
All things

I have thought and think about
What and how to tell you
I have lived, it seems, without
Learning how to be true

But I meant every word I said
From "deranged" to "divine"
And I would do it all again
As if for the first time
The first time

The heart that the head forgets
The heart will always remember
The heart that the hand regrets
The heart remembers forever

I am sorry, I am so
For the things you don't know
And, as for the things you do?
I am sorry for those, too

Out of every broken heart
Broken rule and promise
I have made a rescue raft
And sailed towards you on it
On it

The heart that the head forgets
The heart will always remember
The heart that the hand regrets
The heart remembers forever

Do you, do you want me?
Do you know how to show
How to show these things?

I just didn't want to have to ask
I just didn't want to have to
List, of all people, you

Should you find someone with whom
There's no shiver or shout
With whom, never to assume
Too much rain or a drought

Scratch your name into her heart
Scratch away all the doubt
Scratch my memory from your brain
Scratch your fucking eyes out
Eyes out

I was put together wrong
Still, I was made for you
When our stitches come undone
We come together like glue
Like glue
