True from True by James Low

It’s true you nearly killed me
and it’s true I’m still half in love
Nobody knew me like you knew me
nobody knew me like you

When we first met I wasn’t that old
in the back of the school yard sitting alone
Then the sky got quiet and the ground
seemed to push right through me.
You left me there lying on the ground
blood and the taste of the dust in my mouth
With the light and the shadows and the smells
spinning around in my head.

But that’s all over now
Look at me I’m still living
I made it through somehow
I ain’t asking to be forgiven

It’s true sometimes you thrilled me
and it’s true I still miss the fun
Nobody cut through me like you cut through me
nobody cut through like you

Spun up spun out burned up blacked out
walked to the corner try to walk it out.
Try to walk myself a little bit clearer
I said baby I can’t stay here anymore I’ve got to get out got to get out
But that was just me talking to me talking to me talking to me in the mirror

But that’s all over now
Look at me I’m still living
I made it through somehow
I ain’t asking to be forgiven

Do you remember when we lit up the sky
I was high like an angel reaching up with my hands up
please lift me up off the ground.
Do you remember when I wanted to die
I was curled up into ball in the corner of the basement
fearing the word is the gun only wishing I had one

It’s true you nearly killed me
And it’s true I’m still half in love
It’s true sometimes you thrilled me
And its true I still miss the fun
Na na na na nana na na na
Nana na na na
