I wish I could accurately depict
Exactly how this feels
Maybe you would understand
My wounds won't ever heal
Want you to walk my shoes
You can drag heavy feet along
Cloud of depression overhead
Wandering where it went wrong
To see from my point of view
Have to exchange our eyes
You would have to cry my tears
Then you'd realize
Switch bodies for a day
You'll get how lonely I am
Sitting on empty bed
Too much time on my hands
Let's swap brains for a bit
You can be flooded with thoughts
Seemingly endless questions
Memories twisting to knots
If you borrowed tongue
Owned my voice instead
Would taste the copper flavor of blood
From biting back bitter words unsaid
I long to change places
At least emotions
I'd splash in a shallow puddle
You'd drown in my oceans
I bow head in defeat
Will never get why I am blue
Would suggest trading hearts
I already gave mine to you
