The Special Two
Missy Higgins
Letra

I've hardly been outside my room in days,
'cause i don't feel that i deserve the sunshine's rays.
The darkness helped until the whiskey wore away,
And it was then i realized the conscience never fades.
When you're young you have this image of your life:
That you'll be scrupulous and one day even make a wife.
And you make boundaries you'd never dream to cross,
And if you happen to you wake completely lost.
But i will fight for you, be sure that
I will fight until we're the special two once again.

And we will only need each other, we'll bleed together,
Our hands will not be taught to hold another's,
'cause we're the special two.
And we could only see each other, we'll bleed together,
These arms will not be taught to need another's,
'cause we're the special two.

I remember someone old once said to me:
"that lies will lock you up with truth the only key."
But i was comfortable and warm inside my shell,
And couldn't see this place could soon become my hell.
So is it better to tell and hurt or lie to save their face?
Well i guess the answer is don't do it in the first place.
I know i'm not deserving of your trust from you right now,
But if by chance you change your mind you know i will not
Let you down 'cause we were the special two, and will be again.

And we will only need each other, we'll breathe together,
Our hands will not be taught to hold another's,
'cause we're the special two.
And we could only see each other, we'll breathe together,
These arms will not be taught to need another's,
'cause we're the special two.

I step outside my mind's eye's for a minute.
And i look over me like a doctor looking for disease,
Or something that could ease the pain.
But nothing cures the hurt you bring on by yourself,
Just remembering, just remembering how we were...

When we would only need each other, we'd breathe together,
Your hands would not be taught to hold another's,
We we're the special two.
And we could only see each other, we'd bleed together,
These arms will not be taught to need another's,
'cause we're the special two.
