Afraid to live

Okay, I’ll be there.
I’ll sit in the corner
so that nobody could see me.
I’ll be looking at you
behind the curtain
so that you couldn’t see me.
Just don’t come closer
Just don’t say anything to me
‘Cause I’m gonna have to say something
and I’ll ruin everything.

I look through the glass
only
talk to you in my mind.

Okay, I’ll be there.
I listen from far away
to things you want to say.
I laugh quietly
at every funny word you say
enjoy your every following day.
Then, I could imagine
I’m the part of your life
and it’s me who you see every morning.

I look through the glass
only
talk to you in my mind.
