Leopard & 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 hating 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 on 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.
