Play dead.
Keep your eyes closed.
But someday
you'll give up
'cause light will atack you
from the inside.
Hold your breath.
Don't let it burn my skin
I might like it.
But you couldn't do that forever
and I'll be there when you inhale again.
Pretend you're deaf
for all tender words
coming from my mouth
I know if I keep saying them
long enough
you'll believe
they're your own.
Stay blind
for my kisses
my hugs
myself
but for sure
soon you'll realize:
I'm not the best
but I'm everything you need.

Play dead.
Keep your eyes closed.
But someday
you'll give up
'cause light will atack you
from the inside.
Hold your breath.
Don't let it burn my skin
I might like it.
But you couldn't do that forever
and I'll be there when you inhale again.
Pretend you're deaf
for all tender words
coming from my mouth
I know if I keep saying them
long enough
you'll believe
they're your own.
Stay blind
for my kisses
my hugs
myself
but for sure
soon you'll realize:
I'm not the best
but I'm everything you need.
