Languishing

If you could only see that I was not put here for you
To judge me and dispute my inmost truth
And after all these years of enmity, envy and tears
It's a shame, you don't know me at all

I was wondering, would you cry for me?
If I told you that I couldn't breathe
If I was drowning, suffocating
If I told you that I couldn't breathe

Those ageless buried recollections
We transform them and select them
You have yours, I have mine, that's fine
Why are we too torn to heal?
Our stitches never disappeared
I have mine, you have yours, I'm sure

I was wondering, would you reach for me?
If you saw that I was languishing
I was wondering, would you cry for me?
If I told you that I couldn't breathe
If I was drowning, suffocating
If I told you that I couldn't breathe
