And what you call drama is actually reality
I’ve never had emotions so strong
Until I watch my life like a movie
Like distance weakens me
Like smiles become tears at night
And my mom became a cushion
The comfort of having a home
The place to welcome your failures
A plan B when nothing works anymore
And I want to come home
And I want to bond again
Because I’m tired
Of faces through the screens
Of having my freedom
I want you to steer my tired soul
Be the driver of this vehicle that is my body
Get me somewhere new
Something to eat
Love, whatever love might mean
And company
Because you’re home
And you’re not new
You’re the same people
The same places filled with memories
And I left you for something new
I might be selfish, but you’re so kind
And I can’t breathe
As I don‘t know what’s happening to me
And I am done
And I have tried so many times
But I just want an end
A home to rest and be a kid again
But I can’t
And still I want things I can’t have
And it’s maybe true
I’m ungrateful
But I wanna thank you
But I can’t;
