Ser

You have a lot to gain and little to lose
To be able to love, you have to love yourself first
The good things may last less than a sunrise
Why be with someone you know it can't be?

It's like a bird without wings or a gun without bullets
Like screaming and your voice not being heard
You're 'off' and all the color drains from your face
The only shortcut is down when you try to climb

You rush towards an unforgiving cliff
In such a hurry to meet her and you don't even know yourself
Although I understand the excitement of an illusion
That betrays you if time pressures you and wants to engulf you like an avalanche

It arrives late but it always arrives, disappointment
If it's not you, it's because you're a slave to another relationship
The confusion is so great that it leads you to conform
And you abandon yourself without giving an explanation

And it's me, I'm me again
I've broken every chain that bound us
I'm me again, I'm not you anymore
Don't be a shadow if you can be light

I don't know how many times I should have said I'll change
Knowing that I deceived myself every time
Although I swear I tried to be honest with myself each time
To this day, I still wonder why
Maybe it was because I was just a child
I let myself go, as the affection was stronger
They say it's normal but nothing here was real
Thank goodness today I dye all those gray tones

You should never change for love
Who truly loves you should accept you as you are
If you give your life, you die and I don't know what's worse
To have your powers extinguished or to make my mistake

Idealizing is not loving. You must gather courage
Value yourself, you must know, see clearly what's inside
Why hide who you are?
Why try to be better?
If you want, do it for yourself, not for someone who doesn't deserve your love

And it's me, I'm me again
I've broken every chain that bound us
I'm me again, I'm not you anymore
Don't be a shadow if you can be light

More than distrustful, maybe I'm too much mine
I stopped being, I allowed it, I blame myself
Where you saw something impossible, I saw a challenge
I also thought I wouldn't be happy again

It seems like your life is worth little
You can't escape everyone if you never do anything
Today, being the most sane makes you the craziest
You know time is short and you're still lying there

But out there, someone is waiting for you, waiting for you
Someone like you, desiring you and wanting to be
Wishing not to have to say I'll change
I know you'll find her and you'll stay with him

I'm me again, I missed myself
Sometimes love hurt so much that I even avoided it
It was that sweet poison that as it injected me
I was changing my skin without even knowing what was happening

But not anymore, I won't allow it again
If fear stopped me for another argument I avoided
I kept silent what I thought but the blindfold fell
Today, I'm finally me again, that's what I needed
