Inner Sad Girl

lyrics

My inner sad girl
Can't blame you for your fallacy
Your melancholy, dramedy,
Naiveté, gullibility
You're an innocent girl
Can't shame you for your self-pity
My worst enemy, refugee
And the village that raised me

I can't listen to you no more
Same ol' tales from years ago
Spending hours on that moldy chair
Taping reruns of ancient shows
My inner sad girl
I'm not selling you modernity
But it feels like it's been eternity
Since we had the sense of sanity

You couldn't be what I want you to be
Neither could I be what you want
And it hurts to face the mirror, that's what both of us know
And I know you'll never be free
Cause I can never give you what you want
When you gave me everything you had
I couldn't bear my likely absence when you go

And I left you all alone
With so much pain piled at home
You were brave enough to let me go
To all the places I got to roam
My inner sad girl
I know you wanted more from life
And by more you meant a simple life
As just a mother and a housewife

You couldn't be what you wanted to be
Neither could I be what I want.
And it hurts to face the mirror, that's what both of us know
And I know you'll never be free
Cause you can never have back what you lost
When you gave him everything you had
I wish for nothing more than his presence when you go
