Unanswered

I dare you to answer me

Would it have been too much if I asked a little more from you
Would it have been too hard if you wanted it as much as I do
Would it have been too crowded even with just us two
Well, it wouldn’t have been like this if we weren’t both running away from the truth

My heart is now too bare; my soul is barely getting there
It has come to a point in which where is nowhere
Doubts have resurfaced and I got drowned in my insecurities
Black, bleak, blood, I have never come to know beauty

And I remember that night, when you got to hold me
For a moment there, I felt caged but yet so free
You got to know my demons, and they didn’t scare you away
The first time in a long time, I finally felt safe

I came to a realization that as a person, I am broken
But for this very reason, I felt special; I was unashamed of my lacking
And for you to accept all that, how could you accept all that?
I tried to push you away, but you never got close to giving up

Countless nights I spent thinking of what we have
And whether I wanted to embrace it or let it go just like that
But I got more confused, ‘cause either way I just can’t
It came to one conclusion: I don’t know what I want

See? I haven’t made up my mind, so why’d you make up yours
And to think that one special night is still too clear for us both
The air suddenly changed, and then reality finally hits
You told me you love me, but now decided that I wasn’t worth it

So I guess it would have been too much if I asked a little more from you
So I guess it would have been too hard if you don’t want it as much as I do
And I guess it would have been too crowded even with just us two
‘Cause now we’re still running away, do we even know the truth?
