Hope dangles on a string Like slow spinning redemption Winding in and winding out The shine of it has caught my eye And roped me in So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing I am captivated, I am
Vindicated I am selfish I am wrong I am right I swear I'm right I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed But I am cleaning up so well I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
So clear Like the diamond in your ring Cut to mirror your intentions Oversized and overwhelmed The shine of which has caught my eye And rendered me so isolated, so motivated I am certain now that I am
Vindicated I am selfish I am wrong I am right I swear I'm right I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed But I am cleaning up so well I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
So turn up the corners of your lips Part them and feel my finger tips Trace the moment, fall forever Defense is paper thin Just one touch and I'd be in Too deep now to ever swim against the current So let me slip away [3x] So let me slip against the current So let me slip away [4x]
The door slams I wake up Another illusion I have made of this I cry I swept away every tear that I've cried And I swear this was your choice So save me from falling with the sound of your voice
Are you lonely? Do you hold back? Will the road ahead keep you on track? I know you made what real for but I can't help to die just a little bit more
I'll miss your every moment I can't hold it And I swear I'll miss your perfect charming selfishness I can't say goodbye, say goodbye
So here goes my last chance Of an hopeless romantic and I don't understand Why you don't, why you wanna show Your dangerously enemy and it's tragic so pathetic I'm in love with you and you just don't get it
So when you lay your head at night do you think of me? Do you think it's right to leave me here, to kick myself to hate myself for all that I felt?
I'll miss your every moment I can't hold it And I swear I'll miss your perfect charming selfishness I can't say goodbye, say goodbye
So I sit here finding a way Surrounded but still lonely Your absence here doesn't help, it doesn't help Cause every time I look to you A mild depression comes screaming through I don't know myself, we don't know ourselves
So make me this promise, yeah? Say it with an object tone Emotion feeling, can't stop spinning Just keep breathing, say you need me
自分が岐路に立ってつらかった時期、この曲を何回も聴いた覚えがある。 「I'll miss your perfect charming selfishness」っていうフレーズがすごく好きで。どんな別れ方であれ、自分にとって大事な人との別れなら、離れてしまえばきっと相手の腹立つところも恋しく思い出すんだろうな。っていうね。
