Ruby - Astari Boedikoentjara
Against my will
I caught your presence
Time stood still
breeding a new conscience
Will I ever get to know
the meaning of that look?
I'm afraid to find out as I go
There might be no turning back,
once I'm hooked
When you're gone
I wish for another day with you
Impossible but it's true
No one is ever ready for such news
You will know that I love you
even when I don’t say it
not even out loud
or even when I’m still way too proud
That fact, I have to admit
I still own it
Don’t mind me
I’m just being a little girl
This song is sappy
It couldn’t be worse
It’s him
Someday,
all will be discovered
He’ll be caught
persecuted, like he’s always deserved
Are you afraid of my face?
I am human too,
just like you.
This face represents me.
This is part of my identity.
How to recognise me,
Tell you what?
They’ll suggest that accept
that this has never been a perfect world.
One way or another,
we’re all bound to hurt,
so just deal with it.
Why are you still fighting?
I thought my visit would keep you calm.
I thought you’d be hanging around,
with me for this whole month,
from dawn to dusk, dusk to dawn
saying prayers to Him.
I try not to experience
your loss and sadness
as everyone moved on,
or away, not staying long.
Too many statements
I’d like to call your bluff
after you’ve implied I wasn’t good enough
even after all I’ve done
Everybody’s replacable
at some point, inevitable
How do I stop caring for you,
after those years of closeness?
How do you go from warm to cold?
Are those elements of indifference you now hold?
How did you do that?
