Please, get the picture
Cut out my middle
You ain't got time for me right now

If I was a bluebird, I would fly to you
You'll be the spoon
Dip you in honey so I could be sticking to you (Ooh, ooh)

Caged.
Stuck.
Crap!

Life goes on without you.
Movie deal.
New stunt.
Sacrifices.

You're not happy about it.
Neither am I.
Another "relationship"
displayed in the tabloids.
I only love you.

I know I'm the one
who's always busy
but you don't have time
for me anymore.

While I'm stuck here
longing sick for you,
you're reconnecting.
Going places.
I don't seem to fit
into your busy schedule.

It hurts me.

I look up at the sky
all the time.
Wishing that I'm a bird
so I could fly
wherever you are.

Hold on
and never let go.
I'm desperate.
Lonely.

I need you.
It's getting harder to breathe.
You're the cure to my emptiness.
Loneliness.

Don't you miss me?
You don't say that.
Is this it?
I'm afraid you'll say that.

My head is a mess.
Substances don't help
But it eases the pain.
For a while.

I wish I could just tell you how I feel.
Lay my fears out in the open.
Haven't we come further?
Higher?

I thought we were past this.
The uncomfortable silence.
Speaking without really talking.
I want to curse at you.
Plead.
Superglue us together
so you can't leave me.

Maybe I'm suffocating you?
Why can't you just say that then?
How can I suffocate you
when I'm not even around?

Lockdown
made me see clearly.
We've been going
like two-speed trains
in opposite directions.

I love how we try
to embrace individuality.
You do your thing
and I do mine.
But I think we lost
us in the process.

The balance between
you, me, and us.
Why does it have to be
one way or the other?

Can't we be you, me, and us
at the same time?

I can't sleep.
Twisting and turning in bed.
Until the first sunbeams
makes me curse at the
daylight.
