Navigating Inner Battles: Rickard Nilsson's Reflection on Struggle and Friendship
Lyrics
I wonder who I am
I am uncertain about my identity and self.
Cos I don't understand
I lack understanding of my current situation.
What's happening inside
I'm confused about what's happening within me.
Always been feeling out of place
I've always felt like I don't belong or fit in.
Doesn't it show in my face?
My sense of displacement is evident on my face.
There's nowhere I can hide
I can't find a place to escape or avoid this feeling.
But if you want to see me
If you are willing to see the real me,
If you want to be with me again
If you want to be close to me once more,
I can try
I am willing to make an effort.
If you want to see me
If you desire to understand me,
Still want to be my friend
And still consider me a friend,
It's a war every day just to keep my faith
Every day is a struggle to maintain my faith.
It's a battle every night, am I strong enough to fight?
Every night is a battle questioning my strength.
But if you want to see me
If you genuinely want to witness my efforts,
If you want to be with me again
If you wish to be by my side again,
I can try
I am willing to try.
If you want to see me
If you still want to maintain our friendship,
Still want to be my friend
I am open to it.
I can't believe the things I've said
I am surprised by the things I've said.
What's wrong inside my head?
I'm questioning what is wrong within my mind.
I can't believe some things I do
I am amazed and regretful for some of my actions.
I come down so hard on you
I am too harsh in my judgments towards you.
But if you want to see me
If you are willing to see the true me,
If you want to talk to me again
If you want to communicate with me again,
(Talk to me)
(Open to dialogue)
If you want to see me
If you desire to witness my efforts,
Still want to be my friend
If you still consider me a friend,
If you want to see me
If you want to see the real me,
And believe in me again
And have faith in me again,
Say you'll never leave me
Promise you won't abandon me.
(Say you'll never leave me)
(Pledge to stay)
Stay with me 'til the end
Stay with me until the end.
(Stay with me)
(Commit to staying)
It's a war every day just to keep my faith
Every day is a struggle to maintain my faith.
It's a battle every night, am I strong enough to fight?
Every night is a battle questioning my strength.
