I never wanted anything that money built
I never wanted anything i had coming
I never felt like i need endorsements or helping hands.
I’ve no space for someone to lean on
No older brother who thinks i aint heavy
Lamenting the absence of a “somebody to love”
Aint my thing
And i still maintain
I hold no head up above my own
But i’ll hold your hand
I’ll never reach out to embrace my peers
Or take a leap into the great un-knowing
The 3 colours on the model wheel of love all spun grey
I never feared anyone i couldn’t love
‘cause their betrayal never does much damage
To make waves in a lonely forest
You can’t make sense
And i still maintain
I hold no head up above my own
And when i’m lost you’d never know
‘cause i’ll hold your hand
Play to your strengths!
