I just wanna disappear
Instead of dealing with you
If I were so mad
And if I were a lunatic
Why do you put up with me?
I know you deserve something more
I know you expect a hug
A warm embrace
But I am as cold as ice
Because my heart is frozen
And because your fire is a flame
But I don’t want to touch you
Because I want to run
And I want to run away
Far away from you
So you won’t get my cold
And maybe also
So I can’t touch your fire
Because maybe I hope
I can light my own fire
So I don’t depend on you
For warmth
For love
For guidance
Maybe I want to be alone
Maybe I like you
But I like my loneliness better
Not because you’re bad
But because I am
Because I’m unable to love
You like I should love you
Because you deserve more
Than this broken glass
You constantly have to puzzle with
Because I love you
So much
I don’t want to love you
To hurt you
