But what went through your head?
And what else could we say?
Was letting you go outside a mistake?
You already know it's nothing.
Just look how unhappy you are, it's nothing.
You selfish fuck, you know that we're lost
Desperate to cling to a dream
And now we can no longer be
As we were in the pictures we now look at with tears
But what was it all for?
To keep doing what I'm best at?
And you never thought I was lying before.
You might call it liberation,
So just let me be outside
And I long to stay.
And suddenly it feels like these days, again,
When I finally could be true to you.
And you were there, you saw it when no one else did,
You said that I'm fine and it's okay.
A beautiful thing that we've never seen.
And if you were here now, I'd say:
"I'm sorry I let you down,
But see, it will never be behind me
Just look at my reflection."
But it was a bit of truth I needed,
Now look at me and tell me I'm wrong.
And now you're no longer around
and I need this clarity again
I'm looking for something real.
