The difference between you and me,
I've never come to truly understand it because you and I
know how to accidentally hurt each other because you and I
are opposite poles.
I'm disorganised, I'm an incarcerated child.
I fear my past and your past, and you don't.
You and me, elementary
but it's so hard.
It's my life and I'll lose sleep again.
I won't solve the eternal enigma,
the difference between you and me.
If you ask me how I am,
your laughter will turn my inner struggle off,
it will consummate my doubt and the torture
will answer all my whys.
The difference between you and me.
How are you? Good, how am I? Bah - you and me.
One laughs at oneself, the other cries for the wrong thing
which is only a mistake.
I have no more than two or three friends and my life.
You think everyone will heal your wounds.
You and me, so absurd
I want to disappear.
It's my life and I'll lose sleep again.
I won't solve the eternal enigma,
the difference between you and me.
If you ask me how I am,
your laughter will turn my inner struggle off,
it will consummate my doubt and the torture
will answer all my whys.
And I know there's a mess of questions in my mind,
some absurd and useless insecurity, you know it well.
And if one day I were to lean out on to my life,
and realise there's no more melancholy, I'd come back for you.
If you ask me how I am,
your laughter will turn my inner struggle off,
it will consummate my doubt and the torture
will answer all my whys.
The difference between you and me.
How are you? Good, how am I? Bah - you and me.
One laughs at oneself, the other cries for the wrong thing
and I think it's so beautiful - I think it's so beautiful.
