Half-Filled Cup

When we were younger

When we were running free

I loved you so much, babe

And I know that you loved me

We laid low through the daytime

'til the city was our dance floor

What to us didn’t matter

We had very little time for

And when it went under

We held us up high

We kept each other afloat, babe

On top an ocean of strife

We lived in the shadows

But our love lit us up

Babe I’ll tell you what matters

Ain’t nothing wrong with a half-filled cup

You were the best I

The best that I had ever seen

And most of your secrets

You even kept hidden from me

But you were a cyclone

And I was a still rock pool

All that wind and that water

We were unstoppable

And when it under

We held it up high

We kept each other afloat, babe

On an ocean of strife

We lived in the shadows

But our love it lit us up

And, babe, I’ll tell you what matters

Ain’t nothing wrong with a half-filled cup

Don’t you go leaving

Don’t you weaken

Don’t leave me, baby, I love you too much

Don’t you leave

There ain’t no morals to stories

There ain’t no right and no wrong

You only know who you are when

You are where you belong

It’s no fun here without you

But I’m not giving up

Because I know what you’d tell me

Ain’t nothing wrong with a half-filled cup
