"Somehow" lyrics - MARTHA WAINWRIGHT

I tell you that I want you
That I've loved you for so long now
I stand before you
My eyes fall to the ground
I am caught here
In these feelings I've found

Somehow
This day it's not mine to break
And I must learn now
There are some things I cannot take

Somehow
This time it's not mine to choose
And I must learn now
Sometimes it's okay to lose

Desire, it's burning my heart
Desire, it's tearing this old house apart

I wouldn't change a thing
I don't need to survive
I wouldn't change a thing
I'm gonna burn alive

I'm making a tea now
Fall in your arms
I'm feeling empty
I'm feeling alone

But I'm gonna stay right here
I have found something new
Out in the darkness all alone
With the night of loving you

Somehow
This day is not mine to break
And I must learn now
There are some things I cannot take

Somehow
This time is not mine to choose
And I must learn now
Sometimes it's okay to lose

Desire, it's burning my heart
Desire, it's tearing this old house apart

I wouldn't change a thing
I don't need to survive
I wouldn't change a thing
I'm gonna burn alive
