FINALLY
A MAN
And after so long
there is finally a man.
And after so long
he’ll pretend to understand.
I’ve been alone
in this world
for such a time
that I cannot remember.
What does it feel like,
how does it taste and
why did I run away?
Why did I always
run away?
And after so long
there is finally a man.
And after so long
he’ll pretend to understand.
I’ll reach out in silence,
I’ll wait there for him.
I’ll wait and I’ll want
and it will finally fulfill.
I’ll learn to brave the dangers
(the ones I kept back
through sheer venom),
and I’ll be with him.
What does it feel like,
how does it taste and
why did I run away?
Why did I always
run away?
And after so long
there is finally a man.
And after so long
he’ll pretend to understand.
Don’t take it personally.
It’s just what’s been missing in me.
Don’t take it personally.
Don’t ever leave me.
And after so long
there is finally a man.
And after so long
he’ll pretend to understand.
I’ve always believed
you can love as many as you want.
I’ve always wished
others felt the same.
What does it feel like,
how does it taste and
why did I run away?
Why did I always
run away?
