Leopard and Lamb - John Grant

Read your letter and finally I could cry

But I don’t really understand exactly why

I guess I cried because I knew it was the end

No more hate now, just learning to begin

Learning how to crawl across a floor that’s covered with glass

Learning how to look away and never to look back

I cannot fathom how we dragged it for so long

And I think we both know which one of us was wrong

But now I’m asked to act as if I didn’t feel

Anything from you, my friend, and it’s a bitter pill to swallow

You’re right, this world is cold and all that I can do

Is banish every thought of you, because you are so cruel

Watch the Simpsons to remember how you laugh

I miss your dark blue eyes, and staring at your back

My leopard, my lamb

You’re right, this world is cold and all that I can do

Is banish every thought of you, because you are so cruel

Like learning how to crawl across a floor that’s covered with glass

Like learning how to look away and never to look back
