"Don't you feel better?
Isn't this for the best?"
She shows strong affection
her head on my chest

She says I love you
Shocked I reply likewise
I feel much worse
while I close my eyes

I need some distance
but your love knows no space
My request brings pain
I can see it in your face

You take no offense
but you consider my behaviour vile
Your eyes scream terror
but rigid is your smile

Our relationship is plastic
our relationship is suffocating
never beyond the surface
your attitude I'm hating

You need to open up
Show me the nice and ugly side
I got patience, I will wait
I am not the one who must decide

"You need to open up"
Vulnerability but with no choice
She is ready to listen
I speak, forcing my voice.

Sacrifying my will
to make her happy and proud
Her silence is so heavy
Her silence is so loud

Jealous of the people before me
and how they made you feel
It's in the past, a previous life
secretly wishing they weren't real

You wouldn't be who you are now
so it doesn't make sense
but their names, experiences...somehow
they make me angry and tense

You are asking for advice
but you can't see reason
You are tired of her tantrums
but going against her? Treason

You know the facts
this is an issue
She may be waiting
but she doesn't miss you
