My Future
Embracing Tomorrow: A Love Letter to Self-Discovery
Lyrics
I can't seem to focus
I am unable to concentrate
And you don't seem to notice
You seem oblivious to my feelings
I'm not here
I feel detached or absent
I'm just a mirror
I serve as a reflection of you
You check your complexion
You examine your appearance
To find your reflection's all alone
Realizing your reflection is the only company
I had to go
I had to leave
Can't you hear me?
Can't you hear my absence?
I'm not comin' home
I won't be returning
Do you understand?
Do you comprehend?
I've changed my plans
I altered my future plans
'Cause I, I'm in love
Because I'm deeply in love
With my future
In love with my future
Can't wait to meet her
Excited to meet her
And I, I'm in love
Also in love with myself
But not with anybody else
Exclusive love, not for anyone else
Just wanna get to know myself
Desire to understand myself better
I know supposedly I'm lonely now
Acknowledging the societal expectation of loneliness
Know I'm supposed to be unhappy
Supposed to be unhappy, but questioning it
Without someone
Challenging the idea of needing someone
But aren't I someone?
Asserting self-worth, questioning identity
I'd like to be your answer
Offering to be the solution to someone else
'Cause you're so handsome
Admiring your attractiveness
But I know better
Aware of potential pitfalls, choosing caution
Than to drive you home
Choosing not to be vulnerable, avoiding intimacy
'Cause you'd invite me in
Avoiding a situation that could lead to rekindling
And I'd be yours again
Resisting the temptation to be yours again
But I, I'm in love
Reiterating love for the future self
With my future
Excitement about a future relationship
And you don't know her
Emphasizing that you don't know her yet
And I, I'm in love
Continuing to express love for the future
