You Cut Me from a Magazine I Didn't Know That I Was In - A Pregnant Light

You cut me from a magazine

I didn’t know that I was in

You saw me

And gently traced the frame

With scissors and glue

At the table alone

You could make anything

But you’ve got business to attend to

I knew you were sad

I knew you weren’t you

You were searching for someone

You didn’t know who

I removed some chains

And added some new

It’s the way you need to be

I’m the the one you are bound 2

Life is just another thing to lose

In a cluttered room

But you know, you don’t have to

I hit you because

You wanted me to

Can’t tell anyone

Unless it’s in song

The truth is

I wanted hit to you

With all that I had

Just to see where you’d break

Save it for the day

When the summer fades

And the roads are closed

Save it for the heart

The one you wear

The one you guard

I never set out knowing exactly where we would go

I just knew somehow it was some place

That we had never been before

I could never leave

Now that I’m here

It’s enough to make me think it’s where I was before I was born

Still, we know

This is not eternity

My circle

My promise

Around my neck

Forever

If I should

Fall from this place

This mark

Will keep me safe
