I need desire, not the desire to win
And if one day I lost my fear of losing
It hurts to have run, only to not arrive
Now I know that the journey is the destination too
Fears have grown in me that I never tamed
And I know the answers from not asking
I've felt like nobody else when I had it good
And I cried like everyone else when something goes away
Nobody teaches you to be strong but they force you to
Nobody ever wanted to trust a weak person
Nobody teaches you the steps in a world
That forces you each day to be able to get up and walk
Where you were so happy you'll always go back
Although you confuse pain with happiness
And you might not even be yourself anymore
But you think of yourself, and that will kill
And I hope they never embrace you for the last time
There are so many people to be with, but no one to *be*
We are just roads that frequently twist
Thousands of untamed insecurities that we must overcome
I hope they would accept you for the first time
And would understand that we all deserve to be well
That there's no one who should go without
Since we're the product of circumstances we never chose
Trust never came back with time
And the fruit of my life isn't based on what I have
And if all the moments could go by more slowly
perhaps you would hesitate to try this time
And if we understood that yes we are perfect
Despite the smudges that want to stain the canvas
Everything is a sum even if the rest may not think so
And another only what I show
That I don't fear to lose anymore, but rather to give something up for lost
That I don't want to win anymore, but rather to be convinced
And that long before being happy, I must be with myself
That I'm going to stare down the rope and say, 'I'll keep going'
That I'm going to stop demanding all that I ask from myself
And I'm going to learn to accept what I can never get
I will stop blaming myself, lying to myself, failing myself
Telling myself late truths that I need
Because I also dedicated time
To whom no longer even remembers me
I also glued the pieces of the same thing which I later broke
I haven't understood myself either, and I've accepted that's how it's going to be
I haven't been confused, I've been merged with the worst of me
I have moved into problems and I wanted to be happy there
And I have gone around in circles
So that I wouldn't take you off centre
I have asked everyone so that I'm able to define myself
How to tell a river to stop and stop flowing
Nobody teaches you to be strong but they force you to
Nobody ever wanted to trust a weak person
Nobody teaches you the steps in a world
That forces you each day to be able to get up and walk
Where you were so happy you'll always go back
Although you confuse pain with happiness
And you might not even be yourself anymore
But you think of yourself, and that will kill
And I hope they never embrace you for the last time
There are so many people to be with, but no one to *be*
We are just roads that frequently twist
Thousands of untamed insecurities that we must overcome
I hope they would accept you for the first time
And would understand that we all deserve to be well
That there's no one who should go without
Since we're the product of circumstances we never chose
