Oh, won’t you tell me,
won’t you tell me how it’s supposed to be?
Who is it that I see; who’s there inside of me?
I can’t be anything but broken,
broken on this earth;
And you don’t see a thing, just laugh for all your worth
I’m already all broken down,
and my breath starts to seize;
I pull, but it won’t come apart and you can see the truth freeze
Breaking apart, but I can’t drop;
I’m going mad, my mind can’t stop;
Then finding you made something pop
This world is so twisted and tangled around me,
I’m drifting and fading until you can’t see
Please, just leave me lost; no, don’t look back at me. No, don’t look at me
I never chose this world that someone decreed;
I just wanted you to be safe here from me
Just keep me in mind; the way I used to be, when I shone vividly
The solitude creeping around in strands until I’m weighted down,
Remembering in innocence my laughter in the distance
I can’t get free; no, can’t get free; no, can’t get free, no can’t get free; no, can’t get free, no, can’t get free;
it’s unravelling the world
My life here was stifled,
But somehow changed forever
The two of us are joined, but might die when we’re together
Breaking apart, but I can’t drop;
I’m going mad, my mind can’t stop;
You won’t be a blemished prop
This world is so twisted and tangled around me,
I’m drifting and fading until you can’t see
Please, just leave me lost; no, don’t look back at me. No, don’t look at me
In this lonely trap someone built I can’t be free
Before all the future unravels ’round me
Just keep me in mind; the way I used to be, when I shone vividly
Oh, don’t forget me;
please, don’t forget me;
please, don’t forget me;
please, don’t forget me
The fact that I’ve changed somehow leaves me paralyzed,
In this world I can’t control, this stranger’s paradise;
Just keep me in mind; yes, please remember me.
Oh, won’t you say;
oh, won’t you say;
oh, won’t you say;
who’s there inside of me?
