i assert myself with so much passion that it comes across as aggression
sitting in dark rooms in company of silence to feel some type of reflection
I approach you with humbleness and love in my heart
hoping that you can still see i care even if you couldn’t acknowledge it at the start
sitting in dark rooms in company of silence to feel some type of reflection
I approach you with humbleness and love in my heart
hoping that you can still see i care even if you couldn’t acknowledge it at the start
I’ll die with uncertain apologies on my mind
too empathetic to put myself first in real time
caring too much for people that don’t care for me
being the friend you’re too busy to see
but i bet my sacrifices, to you, won’t feel like some kind of fee
it’ll feel real
not like the artificial words i love to hear to feel relief
too empathetic to put myself first in real time
caring too much for people that don’t care for me
being the friend you’re too busy to see
but i bet my sacrifices, to you, won’t feel like some kind of fee
it’ll feel real
not like the artificial words i love to hear to feel relief
you won’t feel the psychological drain that came along
you won’t think about me telling you all my secrets
and how it hurts to hear it repeated
oh no, those feelings weren’t real
you can ignore me out of ignorance
focused too much on where you thought “alex was wrong”
not how i was vulnerable out of isolation instead of resentment
you won’t think about me telling you all my secrets
and how it hurts to hear it repeated
oh no, those feelings weren’t real
you can ignore me out of ignorance
focused too much on where you thought “alex was wrong”
not how i was vulnerable out of isolation instead of resentment
tears in your eyes pleading for sympathy
see when i have you in front of me
i’ll wish you well
no matter how much pain you’ve sent thee
i’ll love you because i think you’re real
i’ll let you in my arms knowing there was no script
never putting rose tints over those days for my appeal
see when i have you in front of me
i’ll wish you well
no matter how much pain you’ve sent thee
i’ll love you because i think you’re real
i’ll let you in my arms knowing there was no script
never putting rose tints over those days for my appeal
but that’s not something that you see in me
you think my life is for show
a limited series
the point a bit too on the nose
you’d say i don’t require fragility
because a mind you can’t comprehend
should always prepare for hostility
you think my life is for show
a limited series
the point a bit too on the nose
you’d say i don’t require fragility
because a mind you can’t comprehend
should always prepare for hostility
i say i love everything i got
even when it can’t love me
because loving makes me real
i hold everything so tight that it crumbles in my hands
because the scars left behind makes it real
even when it can’t love me
because loving makes me real
i hold everything so tight that it crumbles in my hands
because the scars left behind makes it real
so maybe one day i’ll look back
and i’ll believe that i love the optimism within me
i’ll love my resilience through the restlessness
i’ll love the warmth i protected within on the coldest nights
and i’ll love how i did it on my own
yeah
maybe then i’ll be real
and i’ll believe that i love the optimism within me
i’ll love my resilience through the restlessness
i’ll love the warmth i protected within on the coldest nights
and i’ll love how i did it on my own
yeah
maybe then i’ll be real
