Would it not be
Better for me
To simply watch you
From afar?
Stand on the sidelines
And tear myself apart
From you...
Would it not be better
For both me and you
If I weren't so involved
In everything you do?
If I'd be quiet
And lonesome;
Stay all by myself
Just to give you a chance
To move on
Then, would it not be
Better for both of us?
If I would just
Let you be
Maybe then you'd
Be able to see
All that you could be
Without me.
I don't mean to lecture
I don't mean to be a bore
I don't mean to be cruel
Or miserable company.
But I am like this.
How can I prove to you
That it's not really my fault?
I've tried to change
Time and time again,
To be someone
I might not entirely be
Just so that I could please you
And let you see
All that you supposedly
Mean to me.
But now I have to realise
That I have to stop
Being someone I'm obviously not
Even though it might
Not really please
Neither you
Nor me.
I think it would be
Better for me
To simply watch you
From afar.
Stand on the sidelines
And tear myself apart
From you...
