The Very Earth - Edith Frost

You never said a word about my offering 
Once happily i presented for your ogling 
And love it’s like a vine that withers over time 
Or wraps around you with a life of its own 

Got to learn to forgive you (for bein’ so cold) 
Got to give you time (to be alone) 
Let you prove your heart is colder than mine 

I’ve come to recognize the ogres fuel the rivalry 
Callously letting me go on regretting you 
And it seems the very earth is on fire 
Poised and ready, just about to ignite 
Down on you 

Got to learn to forgive you (for bein’ so cold) 
Got to give you time (to be alone) 
Let you prove your heart is colder than mine 
Let you prove your heart is colder than mine
