Mermaid


Lately I’ve been sad or I’ve been numb

Trying to understand the life I’ve lived, the things I’ve done

And the chemicals ain’t right

But how I wish they were

And I was never taught to fight a ghost that I could never see

 

You said I was a mermaid, when I sang you fell in love

A mermaid, when I sang you fell in love

A mermaid, when I sang you fell in love

But what if I had told you I was human?

What if I had told you I was human?

 

The colours in my head have turned to one

A world of shades in monochrome I’ve grown to love and know

Been existing in a haze

Miserable but comfortable

Til’ the symphony of sirens in my head began to play

 

You said I was a mermaid, when I sang you fell in love

A mermaid, when I sang you fell in love

A mermaid, when I sang you fell in love

But what if I had told you I was human?

What if I had told you I was human?
