i could talk about how my feet hurt
and how i wish i could shave off my hair
and run around like someone
with cancer
but i don't
(running around like you have cancer
makes other people sad)
i could use my fingers
and make your lips form
a smile
but in my head you're a spontaneous human being
and spontaneous people
don't need help to smile
(so i just let your lips hang
and stand on my hands
pretending your body was a factoryfault)
i could pretend i'm happy
and not thinking about you
i could pretend that i wasn't sad when
i noticed the bus didn't follow
the way to your -hopefully- beating heart
i could do so many things
but instead i'll just keep myself
alive
