You saw her from afar
A literal Sunshine!
Oh how mesmerized you were!
A perfect picture to hang on your wall
One of everyone and yet so different from them all
Oh what a surprise you'd immediately fall
for the only girl who could hand you an "L"
She who understood the references and laughed at them with you
She who loved the game and wore the same color as you
A name somehow on everyone's lips
one yours would sound perfect next to
You saw a feed with colors so bright
Happy, cool, savage, taking things light
Eager to reach places you too dream of
Oh wasn't she a magnificent sight!
She could scream in key to that classic rock song
lowered her pitch to sing "Smelly cat" along
She who couldn't keep her feet on the ground
to the dull beats everyone else danced around
Once peeked at the world through books and movies
and had no intention of being homebound
She could sing, dance, write and speak her heart
So much potential to add to your cart!
Her hopes and dreams and positivity
"Oh she's the perfect girl for me!"
But she knew herself better than you ever could
warned you before you dug deeper in the wood
You are fooled because you are pulled to her
She'll push you far off even faster
She has flaws that can't be loved by you
One day she'll scare the shit out of you.
You chose to came close
you had been warned
As you zoomed in on her picture
the pixels all blurred
You could now she all her ups and downs
may be not very fond of the latter
That Mona Lisa you had in mind
was all but a frame, bound to shatter
She had a past and it had its ghosts
Oh1 Who would have known!
Sadness came to her like the usual breeze
often out of proportion it'd be blown
She'd often sing songs too cheesy for you
her bookshelf was but a "To Be Read"
So many restrictions to her travel plans
a thousand more limitations in her head
A jack of all those trades you signed up for
Not enough faith in herself to become the master
A storm too gloomy and damp for you
A hectic journey no-one brought the map to
You had no clue what you were supposed to do
With more personalities than the one that shined on you
You were fooled because you were pulled to her
She pushed you far off even faster
She has flaws that can't be loved by you
She finally scared the shit out of you.
You had been warned
and yet you knocked on that door
Stood out in the rain as it got cold
And how could that not melt her?
How could she not trust you with herself
when you were so full of promises?
How could she close the door at your face
when you seemed like the only one who'd stay?
So she opened the doors to you
let you into the mansion you dreamed of
But all you saw was a haunted house
her webs suddenly too suffocating
so much darkness you could hardly keep up
So you ran off faster than you walked in
full of horror, all disgusted and shocked
Leaving her waiting at the door
she'd only dared to open because you knocked.
Tonight you saw her again
after years of that faded shattered image in your head
but she didn't seem broken at all
in fact so perfect and brand new, it could fool you to fall
And you wonder what has changed
if its all just an illusion
Did she really get rid of her flaws?
If this time she's really the one?
You wonder what has changed...
Nothing!
Oh if only you were to know that
Would you be impressed, or would it break you apart?
Every night she goes through a storm
but comes out a sun that has always shone
She lives bound by a chain of rules
and everyday she breaks a new one
The ghosts of her past never leave her
but every breath she takes scares them instead
Her feet tremble, she stops for air ever so often
and yet she keeps on moving up ahead
She seeks comfort in her grayscale room
steps out burning in all shades of red
All her breakdowns and inferiority complex
couldn't stop her from raising her hands and head
You saw her hands shake and turn to ice
but did you not see her walk up to the stage anyway?
You were disgusted by the doubts that clouded her
and yet you were the one with no guts to stay
But now you see her thrive
despite all her anxiety and insecurity
She always bloomed with all this behind her
you saw her baggage but not her strength in carrying it, what a pity!
And yet you wonder what is new
when she was always this
She is the hurricane and the sunshine
she is your ignorance and her bliss
All she needed was someone brave enough to want it all
someone who'd take off with her knowing the risk of the fall
And after seeing so many of you run away
the bravest thing to do was for that someone to be her.
She was a fool to think you were pulled to her
when all you wanted was an impossible perfect picture
You made her and yourself believe she pushed you away
when it was you who was too intimidated to get closer
Turns out she could be loved, now who's to blame?
And not despite her flaws, but in fact with each of them
All her darkness couldn't stop her light from blinding you
Now doesn't that scare the shit out of you?
