the child we almost had
Iâm a goddamned cheat/Iâm a gifted liar. But, oh you should have seen me as a child. To be loved is nice/but itâs hardly essential. But oh you should have seen me as a child. Chorus-Not tonight not tonight, took some pills and now weâre tired. Not tonight not tonight, we canât sleep âcuz weâre so tired. The right thing aint easy/or even interesting. But oh you should have seen me as a child. To be loved is oppressive/you know that better than most, but ohâ¦When we finally get to sleep, meet the child we almost had, and you know sheâll be sweet (brave) and weâll name her Velouria.
