it’s not that i don’t want to
not that i don’t want you close to me
when you’re too close, you see
i see your flaws,
my honesty’s betraying you,
betraying me
i’m victimized,
i’m no good with surprises
close, you are perfection
closer blurs the vision
please don’t murder your mystery
believe me: you’ll never read me
i don’t think you need me
truth is, truth is –
i’m selfish, selfish.
what’s the use if the truth is
i’m selfish, selfish.
bare feet on broken glass
landslide is coming fast.
but i’ll let the moment pass,
’cause no good things ever last
but if you leave,
i will bleed.
truth is, truth is –
i’m selfish, selfish.
what’s the use of the truth if
if i’m selfish, selfish.
it’s not that i don’t want to
i just don’t know how to
hold you closer when i’m overloaded
with the gravity of possibility
of you letting me bleed,
i’m letting you bleed.
