The Cure

I didn't know I was sick
I couldn't accept that this wound was holding me back
That I needed to let go of the memories
To allow whatever changes would bring

I met someone
Who made me feel something new
A security, a peace, a rush

The kind that makes you believe
That love doesn't cause pain
It's the cure

I was strangely the craziest person
You've ever met
Obsessed with having you for myself
At the same time afraid
Of surrendering, and so

I suffocated you, then let go
I approached, then retreated
I tried not to get hurt
But the prediction was right

Then I understood
When I saw you leave
That it wasn't about the two of us
And I accepted a maybe later

Today I understand what your mission was
It was simply to unpetrify my heart
To show me that love is not in vain
You did it
It's done
And goodbye, then

I said goodbye to the fears
Of who I was becoming
I became light again, Cultivating Dreams
I'm open to whatever comes my way
I'm not so cold anymore, I feel like a different woman

I've relearned to smile and to let it hurt
Because the pain made me stronger, today I know how to live
Maybe one day you'll understand too
That this healing was possible
Because I wanted you

I suffocated you, then I let go
I got close, then I retreated
I tried not to get hurt
But the prediction was right

Then I understood
When I saw you leave
That it wasn't about us two
And I accepted a maybe later

I've relearned to smile and to let it hurt
Because the pain made me stronger, today I know how to live
Maybe one day you'll understand too
That this healing was possible
Because I wanted you
