How To Love

One face
To you
Is a place that brings nothing but trouble
For you
What once was true
There's no trace of what good it brought out
In you

Hold your ground until the earth splits in two
March around it like it's worth it to you

The two of us
We fell
Like a song that came through me
And the pen moved so well on the page
And now it hurts like hell
And the hurt has no ending
'Til it's time to fall again

Hold your tongue until your mouth splits in two
Just keep quiet like it's worth it to you

I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting

I'm awake
In a dream
Where the truth is an orchid
That I bottled and threw to the sea
And it breaks at the seams, growing higher and higher
To a place where good love doesn't hurt every day
