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.
