Unintentional
I feel like hiding myself in the folds of a coffin
Lay me down to sleep
Wrap me up in silky blankets
Let me lie in peace
No need for me to live any longer
Humiliation runs too deep
Do you know
How the soul
Tears apart when it’s barred
With unintentional words of love
I was not prepared
For the lead you laid in me
When I gave away my heart, unintentionally
Drop me in the river
For I know I will not float
All the magic left my fingers
Tie a noose around my throat
My stupidity needs a penalty
And at least this punishment lets me go
So never again will I have to face
Pretending desperately it wasn’t done
Let’s make it easy to forgot
With me suddenly, tragically, being gone
Do you know
How the soul
Tears apart when it’s barred
With unintentional words of love
I was not prepared
For the lead you laid in me
When I gave away my heart, unintentionally
