You Are You, I Am Me
You are you, I am me
I wonder If I am seen
I hear Life passing into the night,
like a river passes into the sea
I see That certain cats think,
iam a lying fake that only think of me.
I want To Erase and forget
what you said to me today.
You are you, I am me.
I pretend That im happy,
when I'm really not okay.
I feel Lost and shipwrecked,
love is far away.
I touch You awkwardly.
I worry If i will be good enough today.
I cry Because you dont believe a word I say.
You are you, I am me.
I understand I dont think of you,
my word always come out carelessly
I say How did things become this way?
I dream That i will awaken from this reality.
I try, And you lash out unexpectedly
I hope To find a way out of this insanity
You are you, and I am me.
