If I was really a treasure to you
G7 F#7 Bm F#7
I'm deserted by the one I trusted the most

Knowing you'll do the same as everyone

I'll be removed and you will be gone
G F#7 Bm
Please, don't ever try to leave me behind
Em F#7 Bm B
But clearly, I know from the start, it's a lie
G F#m Bm
Seeing you laugh with the figures you love
Em F#m G F#
To all you call 'precious', replace me now
G F#7 Bm A
In this world, we keep lusting for something new
G F#7 Bm
One day slowly all will forget with it too

And somehow your hand is now out of my reach
G F#7 Bm
My voice can be heard, but there's no way to speak

Will always be enough for me

And though

In this world we keep lusting for something new

One day slowly all will forget with it too

Was this creature I call 'myself'
