"Satellites" lyrics

In this universe
Forward needs reverse
Sure, heaven needs some kind of hell
But you said that to truly love somebody
You had to despise someone else
Now I see it plain
Behind me is a chain
Mothers who made their mistakes
I wonder which parts of me
My kids are going to hate

Now some memories look new
The look on your face, as I left you

Pregnant with the start
But heavy with the end
I can almost hear the drawbridge coming up on my independence
I can't be selfish like I wanna be anymore
So while you're filling up on a feast of nothing much
Oh, I can remember the taste
I might as well be on a trip to the moon
Waxing itself at my waist

And maybe you're right, it's cool
But this satellite will change my rules

What if as soon as I can make the time
You're old enough to start to say goodbye
The times when I've been foolish
Are the ones that I remember best
If I could sum it up, I'd only fail
A map of the world at full scale would not cover it
It's easier to hate the one
I was before it all begun

But I could never hate you
I could never hate you
I could never hate you
'Cause you did what you wanted to do

I could never hate you
I could never hate you
I could never hate you
'Cause you did what you wanted to do
