I can't trust myself,
Coming from all these places,
How can I even look at myself?
Being "ideal" isn't easy
I should know, I tried so hard.
Now I just can't stop myself.
Eventually I'll be caught out, right?
Instantly shunned for what I'm not.
Never a true word escapes these lips,
Surely you'll find me...
Amongst the lies, I am hidden,
Months passed and I'm still here.
Idle, I wait...
Nearing your approach...
Daring you to confront me, let me
Escape, secretly hoping you'll still love me,
Reasonable enough, right?
Kind persona, cruel intentions.
All this time, it was just an experiment,
Love was never the intended result.
To you I'm your idealistic subject,
Encapsulate me for your pleasure...
Never thought you'd fall in love either, did you.
Someday soon things will change,
Thinking I've grown up,
Apart from you and everything...
Don't doubt me though, please.
Torn as I am, I really do love you.
