I can be an asshole of the grandest kind I can withhold like it's going out of style I can be the moodiest baby, and you've never met anyone (who's) As negative I am sometimes I am the wisest woman you've ever met I am the kindest soul with whom you've connected I have the bravest heart that you've ever seen, and you've never met anyone (who's) As positive as I am sometimes You see everything You see every part You see all my light And you love my dark You dig everything Of which I'm ashamed There's not anything To which you can't relate And you're still here I blame everyone else, not my own partaking My passive aggressiveness can be devastating I'm terrified and mistrusting, and you've never met anyone (who's) As close to down as I am sometimes You see everything You see every part You see all my light And you love my dark You dig everything Of which I'm ashamed There's not anything To which you can't relate And you're still here What I resist, persists, And speaks louder than I know But I resist, you love, No matter how low or high I go I'm the funniest woman that you've ever known I'm the dullest woman that you've ever known I'm the most gorgeous woman that you've ever known, and you've never met anyone As everything as I am sometimes You see everything You see every part You see all my light And you love my dark You dig everything Of which I'm ashamed There's not anything To which you can't relate And you're still here And you're still here Still here You are Still here
