Yoshika Colwell - Please

 

Please, give me a smile

Tell me you've found a new hobby

Take me out for a coffee

Take me somewhere new you've found

 

Please, just go to sleep

Don't wake up till morning well rested

Please, don't ever die

Oh, I need you to stay alive

For a long long time

Oh, I do

 

Please, don't look at me like that

I didn't know I was doing it, I'm sorry

Please, don't turn your back

I'd change if I knew how

 

Maybe it's alright

To know it's out of our hands

We always pay such a high price

When we act like it's not that bad

And I think that

 

I've been waiting for you

To be someone you're not

For too long

I've been wishing on stars

It never comes out right

I've been on tenterhooks

Awaiting looks of validation

And I've been up all night

Trying to set it right in my mind

But I can't

 

So, please, just shut the door

Let me be sad and quiet

I don't want to deny it anymore

Come on, let me let you go

Let me out into the open

And I'll think of you often

Of course, I will

But if I stay, then

 

You'll be waiting for me

To be someone I'm not

For too long

You'll be wishing on stars

You'll tell me every time

You'll be in my bad books

Awaiting looks of affirmation

And you'll be up all night

Trying to make it right
