The person I was trying to be
is a faint and fading memory.
All the things I ever wanted
don't mean a thing to me.
One life ended, another started.
It hurts to be this open-hearted.
Who really wants to be set free?
Only the enlightened and retarded.
I have to hold myself together
but I only want to let go.
I don't know what else to do
I just want to let you know.
What comes next, I have no clue.
I don't really have a choice though.
I’ll just hold myself together
so I never let you go.
I want to know you when we’re old.
Whenever your hand is mine to hold
that might as well be the whole world.
You are brilliant and brutal and bold.
You know my cards and I’m forced to fold.
Everybody knows that life isn’t fair.
But you are a breath of fresh air.
You’ll have to excuse me if I stare.
Don’t hide that light, don’t you dare.
You should know what you have is rare.
Now I might be the crazy one
but I think we could have some fun.
If the working day is ever done,
and you know that race is never won,
We can relax and watch them run.
