Only In The Morning Lyrics

Venetia Fair Only In The Morning

She's alone if only in the morning
For all her learned morality
She keeps her line drawn far beyond the innocent
flirtation
A reputation for quenching every thirst for free.

My mother thinks the last one never loved me
The wisdom's stark simplicity was easy to ignore
Before I heard a few more stories
And they destroyed me
I scratched the surface 'til it bled

I shed my skin
When I got burned
I reached for the stove but I never learned
Promise me, that you're not her
And I can try to believe it
But I've seen things that I can't forget

I could barely stomach her affection
And with my stoic brevity
I never made it past her plastic pornographic accent
And i accept that
She paid to board a sinking ship
And now she's drowning thanks to me

Just a lonely girl that never learned to swim

And I know it's done
'Cause she's the only one who brought me back to shore
And she's scared
That I would drown before I ever let this go

I finally learn to swim

She's alone if only in the morning
For all her learned morality
She crossed that line for me.

I've seen some things I may never find a way to forget
