Still Clean

In the summer You said you loved me like an animal Stayed beside me Just enough to keep your belly full Then you took me down to the water Got your mouth all clean Left me drowning Once you picked me out your bloody teeth Spent the autumn In the forest hunting for a wolf Tried to find you Stopped my searching when the nights grew cold Dreamt I saw you Down by the water with your mouth still clean You were searching I came to you and you said to me That I'm not Only what you wanted for a little while Only what you wanted for a little while Only what you wanted for a little while Only what you wanted for a little while Through the winter I was shuddered in between my sheets Checked the window Just to see if you'd come back to me The spring was coming I saw you running down to the creek The ring finger fell to the water from your bloody teeth I guess I'm Only what you wanted for a little while Only what you wanted for a little while Only what you wanted for a little while Only what you wanted for a little while --- Still Clean - Soccer Mommy
