WE’VE BOTH BEEN
LOVED BEFORE
Copyright Juliet
Lawson
I don’t feel badly
that I read the card
all my love, forever,
always
I’m not the only one
to wear a scar
we’ve both been loved before
we’ve both been loved before
often when I’m holding you
in the night
I think about the others in your life
each one thought the other
was the only one
to fall in love
I too have loved
we’ve both been loved before
let’s not kid ourselves
we’ve spread it all around
no sweet illusions screening off the
truth
no beginners idylls
no first time buyers
chasing the elixirs of youth
let’s not fool ourselves
we’v have both been here before
though we know this moment has to last
jealousy’s an ugly face
I won’t aplogize
remembrances of time past
so I don’t feel badly
that I read the letter
there’s no unwinding
lovers we once knew
and hey, the world keeps turning
like it ever did
we’ve both been loved
I too have loved
we’ve both been loved before |
