But When I Know Who I Am 03:37

I knew a boy at school named William And we didn’t get along But it struck me how it shifted And he was one of my few friends He moved away at some early age And I never thought of him much But I guess my brain retained how I had never had that trust I had a dream that we were both at A giant school with deadly traps I traveled far and wide to find him In an attic wooden black I had come back from the future cause I knew that he was dead And the blood came rush before me, but we always knew our lines William, I know you are dead If you don’t get out of your head How can I tell you to leave Without saying that I love thee? I walked away when I lied “You know, I have always loved you” Suddenly, his suicidal perch Turned into my own shadow’s lurk I went around this school with errands Tossed around by random kids I don’t know what I’m supposed to do here But I’ll always grant your wish And now William thinks he owns me Cause he thinks that love is cute And I’ll stay with it regardless Cause I live avoiding guilt Should I be proud or confused As the savior of this poor boy? All that I do is appease And I wonder what will I be? Should I be proud or confused As the savior of this poor boy? All that I do is appease And I wonder what will I be? But when I know who I am There are so many things to add But when I know who I am There are so many things to add

We do our best Even if affections end We do our best One day we’ll rest There is no world Where I would not strive for you I’ll do my best One day I’ll rest All that I can see I got a box with your old ID And it’s just for me You’re everything I know you’ll come back When you listen to songs, I know you’re alive Because you’re my life Don’t want otherwise We do our best Even if affections end We do our best One day we’ll rest There is no world Where I would not strive for you I’ll do my best One day I’ll rest All that I can see I got a box with your old ID And it’s just for me You’re everything I know you’ll come back When you listen to songs, I know you’re alive Because you’re my life Don’t want otherwise
