Lyrics
When I was young I thought I
Reflecting on youth and naivety
I thought I knew it all
Confident in one's knowledge
That was before I fell in love
Realizing ignorance before experiencing love
It came to my surprise and
Love's arrival was unexpected
It ended just the same
Love's end was equally surprising
Leaving me open on the floor
Vulnerability after love's disappointment
Why I give myself away
Questioning the reasons for giving oneself in love
I'll never know
Uncertain about the motives for self-sacrifice
So I lead with my body
Choosing physicality over emotions
Follow with my head
Following physical desires with rationality
If you got what you wanted
Willing to walk away if desires are fulfilled
Let me walk away
Asking the other person to let go if satisfied
I'm on the other side
Being on the emotionally distant side
I don't need a kiss goodbye
Rejecting the need for a farewell kiss
I got a letter today
Receiving an anonymous letter
It came anonymous
The letter's sender is unknown
I ripped it open in the flesh
Opening the letter physically
It said
The letter's content begins
Who
Questioning the identity of the sender
Are
-You
-So I lead with my body
Choosing physicality over emotions (repeated)
Follow with my head
Following physical desires with rationality (repeated)
If you got what you wanted
Willing to walk away if desires are fulfilled (repeated)
Let me walk away
Asking the other person to let go if satisfied (repeated)
I'm on the other side
Being on the emotionally distant side (repeated)
I don't need a kiss goodbye
Rejecting the need for a farewell kiss (repeated)
The love that I have in this heart of mine
Deciding to keep love to oneself this time
I'm keeping it all to myself this time
-The love that I have in this heart of mine
-I'm keeping it all to myself this time
-So I lead with my body
Reiterating the preference for physicality and emotional distance
Follow with my head
-Was it love that you wanted?
-Let me walk away
-I'm on the other side
-I don't need a kiss goodbye
Rejecting the need for a farewell kiss (repeated)
