Wie soll man jemanden lieben, wenn man nicht weiß, was man selbst ist? Ein ehrlicher Song über Selbstzweifel, ein brennendes sinkendes Schiff und das Gefühl, nur ein halber Mensch zu sein.
How am I supposed to love you
When I don't know what I am?
How can I give you all of me
When I'm breaking in my hands?
Yeah, I'm a sinking ship that's burning
Don't try to pull me back
How can I give you everything
When I'm only half intact?
Thinkin' 'bout the man I'd be if someone raised me right
Questions in my chest get heavy when I'm up at night
Thoughts inside my head like traffic on a Friday drive
Every lane is blocked and every turn becomes a fight
Dig myself a hole then complain that it's too tight
Lose myself again and pretend that I'm alright
Maybe I'm the problem, maybe I designed this trap
Climbing out is harder when your heart is full of cracks
I got people that I love but I can't reach their hands
I got dreams that I destroy before they ever stand
Left is right and right is backwards, nothing makes sense
Tell me to hold steady but I fall into the trench
I don't wanna be the person that I fear, but I am
Every time I talk, it feels like sinking in the sand
Head down, hood up, tryna hide from every glance
Walking through the city feeling half a man
How am I supposed to love you
When I don't know what I am?
How can I give you all of me
When I'm breaking in my hands?
Yeah, I'm a sinking ship that's burning
Don't try to pull me back
How can I give you everything
When I'm only half intact?
Voices in my brain keep pulling me into the dark
Telling me to break before I even get a start
Wish that I could freeze this moment just to breathe a sec
But the world keeps turning even when I'm not ready yet
Feel like I did what I could, feel like I stood where I should
Feel like nobody cared enough to see if I was good
Would my life be different if they'd listened when I yelled?
Or was I meant to fight alone inside this hollow shell?
People wanna pry, try to dig into my chest
But they only show up when I'm already a mess
Thought I'd feel worthy if I mattered to the crowd
But they disappear the moment things start going down
Walking through the fields of choices that I never kept
Eyes closed tight, holding on with every breath
Prayin' that the ones above won't let me fade yet
Half a man tryin' hard to be more than what's left
How am I supposed to love you
When I don't know what I am?
When I don't know what I am?
How can I give you all of me
When I'm breaking in my hands?
Yeah, I'm a sinking ship that's burning
Don't try to pull me back
How can I give you everything
When I'm only half intact?
