To Leave You - Siv Jakobsen

I have built myself a fortress

Where I’ve been hiding

Where I’ve been safe, sound

But now you’ve dug yourself a hollow in my garden

So you can swim in darkness

And I’ve placed myself beside it

To hold your hand if you come out, if you come out

I don’t know for who I’m longing

Is it you or your reflection in my mind?

But I know now, what I am hoping for

Building cages 'round my chest to leave you out

To leave you, to leave

I must build myself a new house

With a fence and alarms

Round the edge so you can’t come

I’ll have torches in the ceilings

So I can swim in visions

Of you with your inside out

Naked and screaming and fighting me, frightening me

I don’t know for who I’m longing

Is it you or your reflection in my mind?

But I know now, what I am hoping for

Building cages round my chest to leave you out

To leave you, to leave

I don’t know for who I’m longing

Is it you or your reflection in my mind?

But I know now, what I am hoping for

I’m building cages round my chest to leave you out

To leave you, to leave
