let there be nasal hair

Your words I know by heart
but the wall I built around me doesn’t give,
I’m too cautious for my good, but believe me, if I could
I’d let you know that I still feel

When we said our goodbyes,
I left the words right on my tongue and turned away.
But I left the biggest part of my soft and fragile heart,
I left it there to stay.

Oh, why do I fear you still?
How are your words a knife but my shelter?
Why do I fear them still
When I know myself so much better?

We’re as shallow as the sea
But you look at me, all of a sudden I don’t drown
In the wave that’s crashing in
Crawling underneath my skin.

And this shiver never stops
Though, believe me, I have tried to turn my head
But you keep on coming back
Even greater than before
There’s no need to shut my door.

Oh, why do I fear you still?
How are your words a knife but my shelter?
Why do I fear them still
When I know myself so much better?

I don’t know when we’ll meet again
but my mind, it tells me that it can’t endure
any second we’re apart tears up my young and foolish heart.

I know I should not dare
to feel this love and I have tried but it won’t hush.
And when we meet again,
my mouth will stay locked shut
But my heart again will start

yes I know
