lyrics

There’s a sun in the sky
And it’s beating on my skin and spine,
It reminds me of you;
It makes me unhappy.
And I feel like the norm
When I feel safe and warm,
You come along and take what I need,
I’m not really breathing.

You’re what I can’t have,
You’re what I don’t want,
But what do I have
When I don’t know what I want?
I need to find myself
Away with no one else
Till I find what I could have
When my heart knows what it wants.

Like the stars shine at night;
I am my own light
Casting a shadow over your mind -
Eternal darkness.
In a few days or more,
I will make my own call,
Difference between ‘what to want’ and ‘to have’?
I think we should end this.
