You asked me how I felt about you
You wanted me over and over again
You asked me if you meant something
You wanted to know me in every corner.

But
All I could answer is that I cannot answer
I would rather keep the feelings to myself
I would rather keep enjoying the bitterness
I would rather keep enjoying the sweetness
I would rather keep the mystery to myself.

And
You were curious of that ****** mind
You wanted to know my flaws
You asked me to open up myself to you
You desired the secrets that held my heart
You envied the darkness that covered my soul.

Though
You were not ready to confront the devils in me
You did not consider how weak you could be
I was not ready to let go of this you and me
I was not over that clinging heart that lacked us
We were the unspoken devil and angel of the earth.
