Love shouldn’t make you feel trapped, it’s supposed to set you free,

Feel everything, the joy, the pain, the longing, the redemption

If you can’t love everything or most of the things about you, how can someone else?

Pretend like you can see the future, pretend like you know this pain has some meaning, imagine yourself growing stronger day by day

I had planned it all out, but now once again, I’ll have to forget everything

Twist your life around, make yourself uncomfortable to find true comfort in life

When I see you taking a step back, I want to take a step forward

Having control doesn’t mean making sure everything that happens happens exactly like you imagined or planned.

Are you still living in that time that’s long past?

You collect it all, every single thing that makes them happy, and leave them hoping one day they’ll get it back

Do you have someone to share this vast loneliness with? Do you have someone to live out this world with?

My eyes close and flutter, dreams or nightmares, of course nightmares, of course nightmares.

I dreamt you came back into my life, and I eventually gave up being mad at you

You wake up with a start; if you look backwards and walk, you’ll crash, don’t forget, life is a series of memories you’re trying to relive but can’t

All these things I feel when we’re together are all the things I never knew I would ever feel in my life

So after we part one day in that place where lovers part, I won’t chase after your voice, trying to feel something that no longer exists

I feel like the bird falling with broken wings

You underestimate what people in love can do, so don’t worry and don’t look back
