lyrics

[I didn't know what love was]
There’s a dumpster for his feelings
I didn’t know what love was
I wanted to receive it
If I did deserve it

I didn’t understand how others’ hearts work
Is this a dumpster for his feelings
Or genuine love

It sure hurt to be lonely
Was I the only lonely girl?
I found an atom of hope
And stretched it to big dreams

It was quite hard to see if
I existed in their minds
I felt like everything was
One-sided all the time

I thought that he’s the one who was truly clueless
But in the end, I know the answer
I am the fool

There’s a dumpster for his feelings
And sometimes I felt like
A surgeon who cannot bear
These images at night

I didn’t want to go
I held onto falseness
And the deepest gems of info
My ears kept closed

[The old frame across the universe]
I am a painting in a frame of thousand years
I have been cut out, stolen from the gallery
They rolled me up and traded me round different homes
My life is slowly changing and my spirit grows

As I see through the telescope the universe
The closed half-sphere, reflection of my own back head
Chromatic aberration of my old home frame
But seeing it from all this way is not the same

Every time I failed was a trial
Being pushed around could only make me strong
Maybe this amputation was vital
And made me ready to see the true dream

I am a painting without frame for thousand years
I have old marks and signatures from different fears
I know one day my beauty will not be unknown
My life is slowly changing and my spirit grows
