i knew a woman (demo version) Lyrics by molly ofgeography

brother

2023

[Verse 1]
I only smoke when I am homesick
So that my hands smell like her hands
A dusty, bitter, southern perfume
It clings all to my skin just like the sand
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the heart's a warehouse where we store impossible things
But time rises on ripsand not on wings
[Chorus]
We were here and we'll be gone
It's such an old and sad song
Tell me the truth with lipstick on
I got so many things wrong
[Verse 2]
All my flaws and my devotions
Packed all up in boxes on the street
I've loved and I have lost and I have wanted
And I've treated bitter pills like they were sweet
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, honesty is easy if you don't look it in the eyes
Time's gone where I can't go but that's alright
[Chorus]
We were here and we'll be gone
It's such an old and sad song
Tell me the truth with lipstick on
I got so many things wrong
[Bridge]
Want is a wasting disease
What you get is not always what you need
Safety in sorrow by degrees
You ask for grace, but only from your knees
[Chorus]
We were here and we'll be gone
It's such an old and sad song
Tell me the truth with lipstick on
I got so many things wrong
[Verse 3]
I knew a woman with a tortoise
Who lived long and slow in her backyard
She said she knew it would outlive her
Said she'd seen the end right from the start
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, to love a thing that you know you'll leave behind
But darling you have so much time
[Chorus]
We were here and we'll be gone
It's such an old and sad song
Tell me the truth with lipstick on
I got so many things wrong
