1.What should I say
2.When they tell me I’m neither poison nor cure?
3.A rain of meaningless words falls
4.And I’m the only one soaked through5.
6.The voice that called me worthless
7.Still lingers in my ears
8.Tell me, was that kindness?
9.Or just a dismissal?10.
11.If you’re going to cut me off as boring
12.Then cut away all of me too
13.Things like balance or atmosphere
14.I don’t care, they’re only in the way15.
16.I wanted to tell you, I wanted to tell you
17.That’s all it ever was
18.This feeling like a burn in my chest
19.But if I say it out loud, someone will surely
20.Laugh and call it “troublesome,” right?
21.Then I don’t care anymore
22.I don’t care, I don’t care
23.I’ll just hold this feeling inside24.
25.Getting used to not having expectations
26.That’s a kind of skill too, isn’t it?
27.If I try to rely on someone
28.They’ll just say I’m “too heavy”
29.Even kindness shown to me
30.I thought always had a hidden side
31.But maybe that was actually
32.Proof that I wanted to believe33.
34.Which of us was wrong? But it doesn’t matter
35.If it’s meaningless excuses
36.I could come up with a hundred of them37.
38.I just wanted to break it, that’s all
39.All the contradictions burning in my chest
40.If I could have shared them with someone
41.I might have loved even this pain
42.But now I don’t care anymore
43.I don’t care about anyone anymore
44.I can’t tell anyone anymore
45.And even my voice can’t be heard46.
47.If I had put it all into words
48.Would something have changed?
49.But afraid of being seen through
50.I was the one who ran away51.
52.I really wanted to tell you
53.All the sparks in my chest, everything
54.If it was a future I could walk with someone
55.Even scars wouldn’t be so bad
56.Still, here I am
57.Even alone, here I am
58.Is it okay if I tell someone?
59.Tell someone these feelings?
