I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
People might question me when I say I'm in love. And I might be wrong, but I know I've never felt like this for anyone. Scientists have tried to define love for a long time and they've realized we have a map of qualities in our mind. And these qualities come from people we've met during our lifetime.
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it any where
Away from here
One of these qualities in my map is bird with a broken wing, as my aunt put it. Another one is funny. Another one is understanding. And one is nice. And one is emotional. And one is ...
I have some high expectations. But I want to focus on the first quality. Bird with a broken wing. Someone who wants me. Someone who has a flaw and just needs acceptance. I have a need to be needed. Someone to go with me, any where away from here.
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Right now David is taking a walk. He told me not to worry. But I guess I love him too much, because it's a really hard thing to do. If it was up to me I'd be right beside him at all times. But I've made that mistake before, and I learn from my mistakes. I just really like him, okay? Am I allowed to really like someone?
Louder, Louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do
I don't know. But somehow I don't really mind appreciating my boyfriend so much that he's all I ever think about. But in this world I'm not really allowed to. We're so afraid of this love. The love where everything just.. Stops. The love where every good bye I fear is going to be the last.
Every time I say good bye I fear it's the last time I will ever see him. It's because of what he's done earlier in his life. And every breath he takes I'm grateful for.
I guess I really appreciate him.
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
