What You Want Most

from So Alone, So Alive by Tensile

/

lyrics

Sometimes I wish that I was just a passerby
Third person objective without a reason why
I’d recount narratives, share photographs of time
And I’d stay tucked away, an arm’s length from reality

I’m so sick and tired of looking back on all my past mistakes
And it just took some time to sink in
You were just a passing phase
Although I’m stepping back
This sting still hurts
Is this a blessing or a curse?
Sometimes in life you have to cope
You never seem to get what you want most

How long will this take for me to process?
Why do I focus on my disappointments?

So bury me beneath these city lights
So I don’t fall down from higher heights

I just need to disconnect
Give a kiss goodbye to my regrets
Pack up and leave it all behind

(This was your fantasy
Torn from your heart, tossed to the sea)

I guess I’ll hold out for the best
Look how far I’ve come instead
Even if it’s just an inch

(Brace yourself for reality, keep your head above water before you sink)

Just when you thought you had it right

(Another missed opportunity, try as hard as you can it’s out of your reach)
