A song about being trapped in a toxic relationship, where love and harm blur into one. A cycle of trauma: violence, apology, false hope. The paralysis of knowing you can’t stay, but feeling like you can’t leave.



LYRICS

Everything is dark, everything is wet
I’m locked here in the bathroom, you’re banging at the door
You scream that I’m nothing, I’m worthless shit
I heard it all before, and I open the door ...

And later on you‘ll smile
You’ll look me in the eye
You‘ll say „I’m sorry baby,
Why not try again?“

You grab my arm and twist it tight
You drag me on the floor
I guess I will forgive you, that’s what I always do
On good days we’re perfect, on good days we’re strong
Every time I wait for these days to come along

I don’t know what to do
I don’t know what is true
I can’t be with you
Can’t be without you

This is what is left of, what is left of me
It’s you, only you, and no me
This is what is left of, what is left of me
It’s you, only you
And no no no me

I’m standing at the door, not sure if I should leave
Where should I go, you’re all that I have
And maybe it’s just me, it’s me I have to change
If I try a little more, I might make us good again

I don’t know what to do
I don’t know what is true
I can’t be with you
Can’t be without you

This is what is left of, what is left of me
It’s you, only you, and no me
This is what is left of, what is left of me
It’s you, only you
And no no no me

It’s me, it’s me ...
It’s me, it’s me, I have to change
I have to face reality
It’s me, it’s me, I have to change
How do I face reality?
It’s me, it’s me, I have to change
I have to face reality
It’s me, it’s me, I have to change
How do I face another day?
