Ruby - Astari Boedikoentjara
If you only knew
what I've been too scared to tell you,
what would you do?
If I were much braver for what's painfully true,
would you say our budding friendship is through?
You say it's just a talk,
like normal people making a conversation
It's part of being social,
despite the annual scrutiny and judgment
"Hello, there
Sometimes your blood runs cold
at the sight before you
You may be bold
spitting out what’s true
Pent-up anger inside
You said
all the things
you thought you’d meant
Perhaps there’s a guidebook
on how to woo
like a werewolf calling out to the full moon
She longs for peace
like the soft wind’s breeze
to help her sleep
cast off the creeps
She longs for dreams
Ask me not
about the bastard
who’d made this heart
nothing but a toy
my emotions, his sickest joy
Oh, Casanova-wannabe
Who are you, really?
So you still haven’t given up on me
How to make you see?
Stop acting like you’re oh-so-desirable
Break his spells
You might as well
Never say his name
End his game
We know what he is
A familiar sign
You thought you’d seen the sun
under the gloomy night sky
that you’d break a smile
Yes, he was beautiful,
Come...
Come back...
Come back to us...
Come back to use, please...
Every line’s a trigger
They said I should’ve stayed longer
Perhaps it’s true
You’ve made me feel better
I owe it all to you
It’s the place where I could be
When you're gone
I wish for another day with you
Impossible but it's true
No one is ever ready for such news
