It's Not You

It's not you and it’s not the feelings

I couldn't make you feel.

It's not the things I could have said but didn't

And it isn't your laugh that I could get used to

Or my hand that didn't touch you

but misses to be touched of you.

It's just me that can't seem to find

someone like you

It's just me that you can't find in love

with anyone

including you.

 

The lone and the hungry we find and discard

And I cannot be happy being without what swims in my head

 

It's not you, it's not her or anyone

but the one I couldn't let in.

The one I can't seem to find

who like me is alone and

knowing like me that these words are her own.

 

And I can't be me without what dives deep in my head

Together with the falling of a heart that’s flooding.

 

I cannot feel the mystery of love

So I regress to sense an empty sky of alone.

Believe me it’s not you why my face has turned sour

It's just me that wants you to be

what I know I cannot attain

 

It's just me that needs to get back

to what I know I once felt.
