I learned how to weave a basket
I learned how to weave a basket
To carry my shattered dreams
Its bottom deep and reinforced
And bursting at the seams
I learned how to weave a basket
To carry my broken smile
I emptied my happy endings
And filled it with denial
I learned how to weave a basket
To carry all of your lies
Though it's stained with liquid pain
That's flowing from my eyes
I learned how to weave a basket
To carry my memories in
They slip away a little each day
For the bottom's way too thin
I learned how to weave a basket
To carry my broken heart
But this basket isn't big enough
I've known it from the start
To carry my shattered dreams
Its bottom deep and reinforced
And bursting at the seams
I learned how to weave a basket
To carry my broken smile
I emptied my happy endings
And filled it with denial
I learned how to weave a basket
To carry all of your lies
Though it's stained with liquid pain
That's flowing from my eyes
I learned how to weave a basket
To carry my memories in
They slip away a little each day
For the bottom's way too thin
I learned how to weave a basket
To carry my broken heart
But this basket isn't big enough
I've known it from the start
