I impersonate you and stand before my mirror
and I hug myself and love myself and tell myself what time has done
What can I do if you've become my need in this world?
Even though I never thought this love would find me somewhere
You defeated me, defeated me, and made me restless
How many times did I say that I will not love? Your shore tricked me with its safety
You hooked me, made my flag white
Surrendered, full of hope, coming to you with compassion
Before I confess, I will not lie to you, my world and my goal,
that I considered not confessing, and to hide my longing
I was afraid you would look down on me, my love, for it's not my habit to
accept it when someone laughs at me, but now it's too late
Didn't I tell you that ever since then I have been on my prayer carpet
asking God to bring you closer, and God is gracious and helpful
Even if you didn't become mine, I will stand before my mirror
And impersonate you, and complain to you about what time has done
