Not Everything

Got up early for class, and came straight back home

Having left you between my sheets

I had things to do, but I didn't want to

So I lay there and watched you sleep

You have freckles on your eyelids

Your breathing is heavy and slow

And when you open your eyes to look up at me,

They look greener than usual

Haven't I done a good job of making it seem like nothing's wrong?

I could convince the whole world that we're happy by omitting just the right things

But I don't believe in deceit, so I made this refrain for them to sing along

We're beautiful, and full of love, but that's not everything

We're beautiful and full of love, but that's not everything
