1.I want something that won’t lose
2.A love that’s mine alone
3.If I had that, surely we
4.Could stop comparing ourselves5.
6.I want all sorts of reasons
7.To feel like I’m not the only one alone
8.On lonely nights
9.What am I supposed to hold on to?10.
11.Jealousy
12.But only emptiness
13.I don’t want to be disliked
14.But I want to like myself15.
16.darling, ride on my back and swim with me
17.The sea of these unbearable days is so deep
18.“I wanted to belong to someone,”
19.But I might misunderstand
20.So don’t leave me alone, okay?21.
22.I want something to believe in
23.An unbreakable bond
24.If I had that, surely we
25.Could stop being disappointed26.
27.Is it okay to treasure this?
28.On nights when my bravado crumbles
29.I curl up
30.Shrinking under the blankets31.
32.Jealousy
33.But only emptiness
34.Even on the path I chose for myself
35.Sometimes I can’t help but look back36.
37.darling, rest in my arms
38.Because the sadness is unbearable, and people are so fragile
39.“I wanted to belong to someone,”
40.But I get lost
41.So don’t leave me alone, okay?42.
43.This finite world drives us mad
44.Smoldering in the endless stretch of time
45.Just because everyone’s the same
46.Doesn’t mean my burdens—or yours—
47.Get any lighter48.
49.darling, listen to the real sound
50.The pus of these unbearable days can’t be drained completely
51.But hey, is it okay for me to just be myself?
52.I can’t be like that girl
53.And I don’t need to be, either54.
55.darling
