You say you're looking for inspiration
I wonder why you can't remember what I said long ago
You told me about goose bumps, because
I had so much life in me
And I gave it to you too
But now it's not my life that you care about
It's what's left of yours
Don't make me stay because you're afraid
Don't send me away because you're afraid
I can't be something you've never met
You put me in the place that made you comfortable
But you peeled the label off because I made you nervous
Now you see an empty bottle and cannot recognize the brand
I want to be myself but you won't look
You think you read all the lines and the one's in between
But what you understood to be true was only what you needed
I have not begun to live because I have now experienced you
And what I know now is where I must begin
I wonder if you can take it
