I can't say
That the wrong bug bit you
That this isn't you
I hate to say
That this is all by choice
And that's why you love me
Cause I know that
And I still love you
I don't need you to change
Origami, a forgotten rendezvous
A broken heart made of flesh
It's what you do when no one's watching
That determines who you are
You're not pretending to be a good person
You truly believe that you are
You visit museums late at night
As if expecting to see me on display
We're birds of a feather, birds of prey
We destroy anyone who reminds us of each other
Cause we don't have the power to confront each other about our mistakes
The clock is ticking, my eyes are blinking
I don't like to wait
How many more people have got to go to a never ending sleep for me to wake up
How many more parts of myself have I got to cover up
I understand you, but that's something you don't understand 
I accept you, and that's something you can't accept
You are not a monster
You're just a confused boy in the body of a man
There are things you have not processed so you've begun to project
There are things you have obsessed over and I am one of them
I hope you know you cannot run away
I hope that one day you will realise
That blaming me will not lessen the things you yourself did wrong
That even if I had escaped with you 
You would've still taken away more lives
You wouldn't have stopped
I love you
I love you
But what else can I say
When despite being yours
You'll never be mine
