The Basket Weaver

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
