Listen to yourself
listen to yourself complain
blaming the world and me
you even complain about the rain
look at those pictures there
look at what they have not
look at those crying eyes.
then look at what you’ve got

please don’t justify your feelings
don’t even try it out
please don’t justify your feelings
and the things you cannot live without

look at your eyes
they are all red with tears
you cannot mould me love
Into any shape
I fear
what happened to the morning sun
the clouds cast themselves like thieves
stealing the light we had
replacing it with a need

please don’t justify your feelings
don’t even try it out
please don’t justify your feelings
and the things you cannot
live without

I’ll sleep when I’m tired
I'll drink when I’m dry
when this world gets too much
only then will I lie
on a bed that’s seen
so many broken dreams
and a red coloured wall.
that’s heard them all
