from Duty album.
——
When I see someone less fortunate
Than myself, I feel comforted
When I see someone happier
Than myself, I suddenly feel irritated
But surely, I mean, sometimes
I can’t help but notice how
Pathetic I look, and it clashes with my reality
Just how should I think?
What should I say?
You were the first person
Who tried to understand
This side of me
There is no way a person can live alone
In order to prevent themselves from hurting others
If I can think of myself as a sacrifice
Then I just have to be prepared
To pretend till the very end, even should I lose everything
What are you wishing for tomorrow?
Do you think we can overcome
Even the longest nights
Extending endlessly into darkness?
I wish you’d tell me someday
Just how should I think?
What should I say?
They praise me highly
Am envious of me
But I don’t know if they even understand
Just how should I think?
What should I say?
You are surely the only person
Who really understands
This side of me
