Maria Mena - Dear

I'll always treasure the naivety of the past we've shared.
Our bodies grew much faster than our minds, but together we got good at stopping time.
My teen angst drove me to hurt myself and I made you watch
oh, the pain I must have caused.
But by staying around you saved my life. (Saved my life)

We were never meant to be lovers
Just fellow late bloomers who blossomed apart,
who blossomed apart

Watching my parents made me look for something destructive, and there you were
with all the characteristics of my mum, familiarity of home.
The geographic gap led to force adulthood and your rage exposed.
I'm glad we left things when we did, I doubt I'd survive another bloody war. We were never meant to be lovers
We just mirrored each others self-destructiveness,
self-destructiveness

The spotlight burned in the room when we were together, and we played our parts
and I wore an imaginary TV-screen so you never got to touch my heart. (touch my heart)

We were never meant to be lovers
Our egos fed off each other and died overweight,
and died overweight

I thought I'd seen it all when you first walked in, but you shut me up
and challenged every wrong perception I've had of myself and you haven't ever stopped.
