Alicia

I cover my face and tell myself: It's not okay
A muffled cry between teeth, control yourself
Swallow your pride, but don't look down
And when the smoke clears, you'll tell me what you see

Alicia, tell me if fear is bad
Alicia, I'm dying of terror
Alicia, tell me I'm just sleeping
Alicia, and that you don't ignore my voice
And that you do not ignore my voice

Wipe away your tears, and wipe away your sweat
I know that all your pain has not been in vain
Say you have reacted, just look around you
Or maybe I have failed you, and fear has taken over us

Alicia, I don't know whether to curse you anymore
Alicia, or pray for you
Alicia, tell me you just pretended
Alicia, don't let yourself be defeated

The day, the happiest of my life
It would be when I stop loving you
Alicia, what I fear most in life
Alicia, that day will not come
That day will not come
