|
It's not your loner personality that makes me sigh |
|
But rather the smiles that dress your lips and not your eyes |
|
I know what I see but know not always what to look for |
|
So when you're not near but right beside me I get insecure |
|
You know umbrellas help people stay dry |
|
But they don't stop the rain |
|
You know how certain clothes can make you feel unbeatable |
|
But they must come off again |
|
What is worse, being shut out in the cold, |
|
or turn to ice while waiting to be let inside? |
|
And what's the use in this tiptoeing around you |
|
I'm not invited here to entertain you |
|
nor to explain you to yourself. |
|
It's not your running off on inner trips that worries me |
|
But rather my wanting you to have me come along |
|
I know what I want but know not always what to ask for |
|
So when I'm afraid I might get hurt, I lie and hurt you more |
|
Where is my mood controller? |
|
It could turn tears into laughter |
|
Where is my illusion folder? |
|
It made me recall what I was after |
|
You know umbrellas help people stay dry |
|
But they don't stop the rain |
|
You know how certain clothes can make you feel unbeatable |
|
But they must come off again |
|
What is worse, being shut out in the cold, |
|
or turn to ice while waiting to be let inside? |
|
And what's the use in this tiptoeing around you |
|
I was not invited over here to entertain you |
|
nor to explain you to yourself. |
|
It's not your loneliness or self-contempt that makes me cry |
|
But rather my knowing I can't make it go away, |
|
no, it might only grow if I try. |
