If I Were You

You can’t live and you can’t die

The space around you looks so sad, but I won’t cry for you again

I’m counting the words that fly to me

I shut my ears so they won’t come inside, I just became so tired of that

So I won’t breathe, I look away and I can no more feel you here, you see?

If you would care you’d see a truth that will not match with yours

However hard you try, it won’t be right

But I can’t leave until you know that I can no more bear you near, you see?

You can’t break me now, ’cause I’ve learnt to resist you every day

When you made your vows that would last one day

And I hate to say, but your days are long gone

And it took me a while to get over it

But I can’t let you run, finding another way on another day

I’d rather die, if I were you, with all these things you can’t undo

Why don’t you find an answer to these questions I’m asking

Oh I would swim, if I were you, across the ocean wide and blue

Until I drown, until I’m true

You still owe me an answer

When you’re lying on the floor

Like a 1-bit-copy of what you’ve been before, but you don’t know

I clear my way from all your waste and feel the dust beneath my feet

It’s pure and clean, I’m bare and new

But I won’t freeze, because I know that I’m no longer bound to you, you see?
