Contramão

Against Traffic
See, it doesn't seem like it was long ago
So I still ask for patience
Because I need to readjust without you
They say: Make time your ally
But I am weak, also problematic
I wear out everything he builds
That's why it hurts
And this pain you know, right
Because you always had me in your hand
And I agreed without hesitation
And that hurts
And pain like this is only felt if you like
It hurts even more to admit mistakes
And see that the fault is all mine
Forgive me for liking you a little too much
And drawing what can't be
To chain you, to see you more than a friend
Forgive me for asking too much and wanting your attention
I ran over both of us against traffic
Now I have to deal with it
See, I know it's been a while for you
But it's hard to have resilience
I still don't know how to resignify you
They say things can be different
But look what I did to us
I don't know if I can go back
And what hurts the most
Is that time doesn't come back, no
I lost control, I lost direction
It was already certain this end would come
And more certainty
I have that you couldn't be better
Putting someone else in my place
Forgive me for liking you a little too much
And drawing what can't be
To chain you, to see you more than a friend
Forgive me for asking too much and wanting your attention
I ran over both of us against traffic
Now I have to deal with it
Now I have to deal with this
