You look at me, and I look away.
You say you love me, and I can’t say.
It may seem so simple, it may seem so small.
But whenever you smile, you break my wall.
And I don’t show, what you are breaking.
Instead I’m smiling, laughing and faking.
You catch me, you save me, you listen, you fall.
I catch you, I save you, but don’t listen at all.
And On every rainy night, on every silent corner.
I will wait for you.
But you’re on a different path, a different time.
And you are waiting too.
Still.
Every time I leave you, alone, without a word.
I know I leave you broken, lonely, and hurt.
You try to look beneath, further and beyond.
But my mask will not break.
And I do not respond.
You move me, shake me, you let me see.
That you deserve, someone so much better than me.
Those are the reasons, why I can’t say.
Those are the reasons, why I look away.
