[Verse 1]
All children are beautiful, but we aren’t children anymore
I’m not ready anymore
I was born in a jersey, way too big, and I had plenty of time
Damn, slowly it got tighter
Sometimes my mom is big stones in my shoe, yeah
Why can't I also get a little from you?
Why can't I also say everything you want to hear?
Why can't I also just like you
Without it appearing so obvious that I just need closeness?
[Verse 2]
The night steals everything I wanted to be with you
Everything I give to you
Call me when you're too drunk, then I’m too loud to tell you
One time I almost managed it on the terrace of that party
So just hold me, because someone else can do the rest
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I just didn't want to be forgotten by you
I painted with my widest brush, I had my thumb on the scale
Sometimes I wonder if it was me, or whether it was you that put on the mask and let it fall
[Chorus]
Everything I don't remember
Everything was true, it can't be found
Just promise me to not promise anything again
Everything was wrong in my mirror
So please if you’d do this
Pray for me
[Verse 3]
I said, "that wasn’t kindly said,"
She just, "I’m not kind, and I’m not the one you think you want”
How do you know what the columns can withstand?
So many flames in such blue eyes
Everything that I had thought out and agreed to
Let myself become asphalt, for everything I said became painted black
You just, “fuck you, Cez"
I pitched more towards "fuck everything"
Nothing is promised or worth everything, at least
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I just didn’t want to be forgotten by you
I painted with my widest brush, I had my thumb on the scale
Neither of us know, at least not me
What, why, or who we are
[Chorus]
Everything I don't remember
Everything was true, it can't be found
Just promise me to not promise anything again
Everything was wrong in my mirror
So please if you’d do this
Pray for me
