And I'm back
Stuck in this cycle

Why are we expected to live this way?
Stuck in this stifling house of hot air
Suffocating air pushing our feelings down

What if we open a window?
Letting out that air, letting it rush out and fill the sky
That would be the worst, would it not?

If you feel the love and support of a women, feel that warm summer air...
You might catch on fire, you might yourself be suffocated.

So go on, push it back on us, push us into the fire, mold us to be what is most convenient for you.

I'm trying my best to let you go.
Why do you stay in my head?

I beg, I insist,
I have to give him a chance...

He is too good for the broken girl you left behind,
But still I want him.

I want what he represents,
A new beginning.

I want to be healed by this good man,
Have him erase the damage you've done.

I float between these two realms
Am I waiting today?
Am I doing today?

Whether I sit around
Or decide to take action
The mockery, the backlash
It's always just around the corner

I try to take control, make things happen
And it is why can't you just chill?

I try to be patient, step back and let destiny do its thing
And it is you can't expect something to happen when you do nothing

No matter what I do
I can't be the perfect middle you want me to be
Well guess what?

TODAY is the day I fight back
TODAY is the day that I refuse to back down
I will continue to be who I am
Because I am enough
Because who I am is powerful
And loving, and crazy, and just perfect

ZT
His existence was like that for me
He killed the heroine's father
He snatched the throne form its rightful owner
He ordered to **** the girl that loved him

But even after all that
He was someone I could not hate
I couldn't bring myself to be angry at him

Instead I pitied him
He was looking much further ahead
That he did notsee the misery that surrounded him

He thought he could make everything better
By getting his hands *****
Covered by blood
He thought he'd done something for the kingdom

But
He was alone
His friend betrayed him
To save the princess

The only people he cherished
Left him for the princess

He is an enemy
My enemy
For Iam the heroine
I am the princess

He is my enemy
But I could not hate him
For I am the girl
That loves him
Inspired by the anime the girl standing at the blush of dawn

The way you used to talk to me
The way you used to call me beautiful, say good-morning every day

There was so much promise, so much hope

How was it taken away from me so fast?

I try to be calm and subtle
But how can I do that when all that was promised is a lie?

I yearn for what used to be
Before we touched
Before we fought
Before you pushed me away

Help me understand
Help me heal
Help me move on
**Tell me what went wrong
