art school

Singer: speak low if you speak love

that blue coffee cup isn't of much use now

it collects change to fund the things that i'm not proud of

my friends all say that i have changed; forgot my roots and lost my way

perhaps i've shifted since last fall

but your painting still hangs on my wall

and every night you wear a new skirt and i used to care about buttoned-up shirts

now i look forward to sleeping in and when the next day will begin

the next drink might swallow me

i know i shouldn't lift my lips to see

but after everything you put me through

i'm allowed to be as sad as you

i'm allowed to be as sad as you
