I cannot keep living in the shadow of
someone you used to love
But I watched you set fire to perfect parts of me
with ashes left to keep
My stretch marks remind me of the pain it takes
to occupy more space
Maybe I can love myself when I'm not busy loving someone else
You've been disenchanted, how am I to feel?
How much of me was real?
But I live in this body, I must build it up
I'm mine, to burn, to love
And maybe that's the way things have to be
a forest fire to reacquaint the seed
And maybe I can love myself when I'm not busy loving someone else
