Be Her

作曲：Marcilio Joaquim dos Santos

作词：Marcilio Joaquim dos Santos

She laughs like you used to

Hands talk when she's nervous

Same chip nail on her thumb

Same way she stares through the surface

She asks what I'm hiding

I say it's been a long year

She tilts her head just like you did

And suddenly you're right here

I don't wanna make her you

Don't wanna trace your outline on her skin

I don't wanna call her name

And hear your echo rushing in

I just wanna see her

Not a shadow you left in my world

I don't wanna be with you

While I'm trying to be her

She sends me songs at midnight

Ones you would have hated

Says tell me what you really think

While I say I'm elated

She reaches for my shoulder

I flinch like it's a crime

Still wearing all your habits

Underneath this borrowed time

I don't wanna make her you

Don't wanna trace your outline on her skin

I don't wanna call her name

And hear your echo rushing in

I just wanna see her

Not a shadow you left in my world

I don't wanna be with you

While I'm trying to be her

How do I learn your language

Then teach mine not to forget

How do I hold her hand

Not pay your old debt

If I can't love this moment

I'll let her walk first

Better to leave her empty

Than fill her with your curse

I don't wanna make her you

Don't wanna trace your outline on her skin

I don't wanna call her name

And hear your echo rushing in

I just wanna see her

Not a shadow you left in my world

I don't wanna be with you

While I'm trying to be her

Be her be her

Be her
