"Know Who You Are At Every Age" by by Cocteau Twins

The lyrics I found online are not correct in anyway to my own ears - even if they're from liner notes. I'm not an expert on Cocteau Twins but they seem to have mixed dubbed the vocals over so that aurally, it's vague and your brain interprets it. I suppose it's possible they layered two sets of vocals on the recording. The singer presents herself as a mystery. An observer seeing a blue sky has to search behind it to see the reality, there's a hidden grey sky full of rain clouds.

"Know Who You Are At Every Age" by Cocteau Twins
from Four Calendar Cafe (1993)

Verse:

My senses are addicted to you
but the sweet disorder observes such blue
search behind the search the grey
the sky fall rain

Pre-Chorus:

I'm not real and I deny
I won't heal unless I cry
I can't grieve so I won't go
I won't go, I won't heal
till I let it go

Chorus:

I'm not real and I'll deny
I won't heal unless I can cry


Verse:

My senses are addicted to you
but the sweet disorder observes such blue
search behind the search the grey
the sky fall rain

Chorus:

I'm not real and I deny
I won't heal unless I can lie
I can't grieve so I won't go
I won't go, I won't heal
till I let it go

Bridge:

Cry cry till you know why
I lost myself self
Identify
Cry cry till you know why
I lost myself self
Identify

Chorus:

I am not real and I deny
I won't heal unless I can hide
I can't grieve so I won't grow
I won't heal till I let it go
