Greater Than

Where were you last june
When i was locked away in hotel rooms?
Where were you july
When i was forced to fill my lungs with lies?
And when the leaves began to turn
Did you gather them so i’d have none to burn
Come winter snow?
Where did you go?

I’m not the best daughter
I’m not the best friend
I don’t expect you
To give more than you get
I’m not the best lover
I’m not the strongest heart
But i am something greater than
The sum of all my parts

The patterns in my mind
You’re more familiar with them than i
So you watched it rising up
And saw with it your only chance to run
Before the storm arrived
How’d your conscience weight in on that night?
And do you ever miss the way
We twisted night to day?

I’m not the best daughter
I’m not the best friend
I don’t expect you
To give more than you get
I’m not the best lover
I’m not the strongest heart
But i am something greater than
The sum of all my parts

The sum of all my parts
