The Book of Sirena

i keep going down the line
of excuses.
don’t look me in my eyes,
cus you’ll know i’m lying
when i say,
that none of this is worth it.

i don’t know how
to be honest.
but i know how to lie
about what i feel inside,
just please-
don’t tell me that you notice.

i knew from the start
that i was gonna leave.
i know i never told you,
but you should’ve promised me,
from the moment we met
that this is more than just a dream.
that you need me to stay
forever,
before i try to flee;
how could you let me be?

it takes me some time so,
don’t leave my side, oh
i want you to fight for me
to remain yours.
why can’t you see
that it’s hard for me to speak?
tell me,
what i have to do
for you to see this through.
all i need to know
is that you want this, too.
promise me you’ll wait
for me to tell you my truth;

promise me
and i promise,
that i won’t leave you.
