sort this out

1. I've lived a lot in this house
Laughed until the air ran out
Buried my face
And cried and howled
Filled with some accomplishments
and many regrets.
I have a lot to clean out
before I'm ready -
Stark and blank
To leave again.
I've lived a lot in this house
I hope I live as much elsewhere


2. i'd let you see me
without my walls
whatever's there that's real
if i knew how
and wasn't afraid
you'd notice


3. I don't have to wonder if I'll be alone in the future
I don't wonder because I know
I don't know about God or Love;
I know this.


4. We don't choose who we love
the choice is to accept
and defend it to all who ask
