Thank you

i would reach a compromise
with my dignity
just to make you smile

and i would burn my lungs
to put you in a balloon
and make you fly

and i would nail me to the cross
to bring you endless sacrifice

but when i look into your eyes
i see despise

so thanks for all the quiet days
and thank you for the back-turned nights
that sure help me understand
that i am never right

i would wear the human-filtered glasses
so you know you are
the only one

and i would hunt my demons hard
so you've got nothing
to be worried 'bout


and i would leave my fears inside
even when you're
not around

but when you look at me
why do you frown?

so thanks for all the quiet days
and thank you for the back-turned nights
that sure helped me understand
that i am never right

i have reached a compromise
with my dignity
just to make you smile

and i burnt my lungs to dust
to blow your wings
and make you fly

and i nailed me to the cross
to bring you endless sacrifice

but.. why?
