Lyrics
I just wanted to use you
I desired to exploit you
Make you my lifesaver, reduced as I am now
To make you my savior, despite my diminished state
My dignity hung up
My self-respect is compromised
(I) love your gaze so straight ahead
I adore your direct and determined gaze
Toward the horizon
Directed towards the future horizon
Of your future
Of your own destiny
The way you grabbed my soul
Your grasp on my soul
My gashes hurt less and dust was blown away
Diminishes my wounds and dispels dust
Your nerves on constant alert
Your nerves are ever vigilant
Taught me that, if you want to be yourself you have to fight
Taught me that authenticity requires a constant struggle
You found your turning point
You discovered a crucial moment in a photograph
In a photograph
On your remarkable journey, I found mine
On this amazing path, I saw mine
And so it happened: you deceived me
Unexpectedly, you betrayed me
I should logically hate you or weep and struggle as
Logically, I should despise you, or cry and resist
I did when kids would make a mock of me
As I did when mocked by children
Like a cat I should scratch but I'm inert
Like a cat, I should retaliate, but I am motionless
Shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh
Hushing, suggesting silence
I'll go, if you want
I will leave if you desire
Or maybe I'll be waiting until
Or perhaps, I will wait until
You trust in me
You place trust in me
How could I? I
How could I?
Wonder... how could I?
I wonder... how could I?
But your motivation is
Your motivation is compelling
So firm and your strength so superior
Your strength is so superior
That you're going to use me now
That now you intend to exploit me
I'm still here just to say... "goodnight"
I am still present just to bid you "goodnight"
