Someday.


I'll learn to love myself eventually, Someday can't be too far from now As long as I remember You sail faster through hard winds and violent weather And if you have built your ship well, and sturdy You should manage the journey But perhaps I want to die, Or to go as far as my limits allow without breaking through to the other side I want love I feel that I need love Like in the cold winter When your skin and bones need the sun I want to love I need to love Like when you're so alone That your only friend is a cold gun The mornings come quick, Quicker than I drink beer And I find myself more sad knowing they're here Always more to go, Another battle left to fight I pour out my soul like cheap champagne on a Saturday night I'm ready to rest and close my eyes Only for the night and the rest of my life I'll learn to love myself eventually, Someday isn't too far.
