What do i seek? What more do I ask for? What is it that's left? To feel, to say, to listen and to bear. To give is to take, To trust is to wait, To attach is to not depend And to love is to not demand. The only equations I understand. But why is it That I deviate And I'm unable to take a stand? But why is it That my weakness Makes you my need beforehand? But why is it That I want the mountains And give in to the islands? But why is it That I always need time And it slips away like sand? But why is it That I want to build a house And still need my empty land? But why is it That I want to rewrite stories And not give a second chance?
