[ Featuring Rosana Ercilla ]
I wanted you for so long but you knew that, didn't you?
It's sad to think how happy I was when I found out you liked me too
But novelty wears off quick and I'm stuck in this game
Playing the same level over again
You flirt with me openly in every group lock your eyes with mine
Then next day it's a favour your mistakes made a mess again
You're the type to arrive after closing and complain when they won't let you in
But this string that ties us together
You used it to wrap me round and round your fingers and it's starting to fray
Someone please give me the strength to cut the final thread
--
I hate it (I hate it, I hate it), it's so pathetic (pathetic, pathetic)
I've held on to this fantasy for so long and I can't let it go
Tell myself I've grown and I'm so much stronger now
But this one little thing is holding me back
'Cause the truth is with things that live in my head
I'm full of power but I'm powerless
And it flickers back to life when you walk in a room
So if I can't get physical space at least let my mind be mine
--
Whenever we're alone you're the guy I always knew you to be
And I find myself thinking this could work, you and me
Because we could, we really could
But I've spent half my life removing obstacles in my way and I can't do the same for you
'Cause this string that ties us together
You used it to wrap me round and round your fingers and it's starting to fray
I just need to find the strength to cut the final thread
--
I hate it (I hate it, I hate it), it's so pathetic (pathetic, pathetic)
I've held on to this fantasy for so long and I can't let it go
Tell myself I've grown and I'm so much stronger now
But this one little thing is holding me back
'Cause the truth is with things that live in my head
I'm full of power but I'm powerless
And it flickers back to life when you walk in a room
So if I can't get physical space at least let my mind be mine
--
Let it be mine
'Cause I'm sick of living life so precariously
These what ifs are slippery things, like your words nothing solid to cling on to
And it's coming either way
When it lives within you there's no walking away and I know you'll never let go so no one else can have me
But you never really had me yourself
At least If I make the jump then my dignity comes with me
'Cause I'd rather not be wanted than not wanted enough
--
So I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it, I'm going to cut it, I'll cut it, I'll cut it
I've had this fantasy for too long and it's time to let go
