lyrics

I don’t need someone to make me feel safe
you made me feel brave
I am afraid of being alone but I know I already contain
all the things that I call a home

and I’m ready for you to forget me

there are no mountains in South London
yet I have known you as one
I’ve known you as a homemade fence, a playground swing
the night I lost my blue ribbon

and I’m ready for you to forget me

I have known you as my friend’s laughter
frustration and disaster
I have known you walking home after
another shit night out with my arm around her

and I’m ready for you to forget me

because actually life is long
and actually I am young
and I don’t think I quite know yet
what it means to love anyone

but I try to keep my heart soft
look up as I walk
notice where I am
think less and feel more

I have known you as I left you
clutching a seed in the palm of my hand
I once lived in you
now you live in me
and I live where I am
