Too Long

I waited for so long

Outside myself

You see I was pretending

To be someone else

I was longing to see

Who I wanted to beAnd I've been waiting on my own

I've been waiting for too long

Not strong enough to be with you

And I've been making up my world

I've been painting it with gold

Not strong enough to see youI irrigate illusions

Then let them grow

How can I pacify myself?

And let go

And I ran wild to see

Who I turned out to beI've been waiting on my ownI've been waiting on my ownBut it was too cold

In my world, my world
