Untitled #17

If only I had a way to say to you,
All of the things that I never let go

I would

If only I had a way to change the positions of the stars
All of the places that you wanna go

I would

It only I was strong enough to
All of the people we could be

I would

Repeatedly I fall back down
Undercover, safe from her

I could

Repeatedly, the rain is touching the roof
Undercover, touching the floor

I could

Who let the wolf in
While the kids were out playing?

Who let the windows touch their fingertips
While the glass pushed away from the cold?

I did

Who let the makeup scar the image
While the lights were still shining

Who let the city push us to cells
While running from the flashing lights?

I did

And Iโ€™ve never been safe
From walls and trampolines

And Iโ€™ve never landed
From my dozens of falls

I admit I was wrong
And thereโ€™s no fixing the broken
The pieces that canโ€™t be found
Not landing on the ground

And who did I think I could be?

The one to let you win
See through and cold from adaptive measures
Did I think I was strong enough to keep the world off my back?
Undercover repeatedly I blow it
If I knew what I had I still wouldnโ€™t know it
