i think that somehow i am somewhat inferior to you even though we are the same
(as one rises from the ground to reclaim the magic that was once lost
the other sinks into the sea to lose what it once called its own.)
& you know that i am nothing when you look at me & you know that my hands are not meant to be held.
it's pitiful to exist and sure, i look perfect on the surface but i’m a nightmare underneath
(i stand here alone all on my own, and i ask why you left me
and yes, i heal the broken parts of my soul by gently putting myself back together but it's not working so well.)
time is ticking slow, yet too fast & i didn't realize there were only remains of our hearts
(i am in my fear of familiar comforts becoming worn out by wear & tear.)
your secrets are now mine to tell but ‘cause of love i keep them safe
(you told me that it was okay, that it didn't have to be perfect but i swear you told me that you would leave me if i wasn't.)
à la fin, j'aimerais que j'eusse dit «je suis désolée je t'aime et pour le reste de ma vie, c'est toi.»*
(but i hadn't, even though we observe the soft surface of the thunder-gray lake.)
so now i'm pleading that you let me out of my own skin, i don’t recognize this life anymore
*At the end, I wish I had said "I'm sorry I love you and for the rest of my life, it's you."
Honestly if someone sang this as a song I'd listen to it over and over and over again
It's so beautiful
