Kinda looks like your mind came undone Did the game break when I stayed myself? Did it break when I stopped giving you my smile? Or when I remembered who I was all the while? I stay myself inside my lines Trying to protect this heart of mine While you moved so careless through my pain Never seeing what remained Couldn’t read me through the haze Maybe I’m just hard to trace Why’s everything with you this hard? Why do I keep tearing myself apart? It’s not flowing, with you it freezes Turning in circles but never reaches me Like the night keeps chasing daylight Night and day in each other’s eyes Don’t tell me you never noticed me there Scanning the room with your careful stare Knowing where I sit, who I’m talking to Don’t lie like I never mattered to you I know this game, I know that role Looking untouched while losing control This whole thing pulls me under slow Two black holes that can’t let go Never meant to be each other’s home I fought myself to get to you But something inside me wouldn’t move Until I saw there was nothing to win Nothing worth destroying myself within Until I saw nobody chose me back Just a twist of fate that we both lived You don’t even have to say a thing You’re just enjoying the in-between Living inside this twisted game Locking yourself before it becomes real Moon and sun Moon and sun Guess I was blinded by my own light all along Thought you were the sun that would light up my night Mistook the moon for sunlight Love keeps spilling out of me somehow Onto you or someone else around No matter where it goes or leaves It always stays inside of me x nursena

Moon Mistaken For The Sun
