I live my life in metaphors
I wish you could understand
I place myself in top of a tower,
surround myself with chains

I see you, I dream of you 
I write our story and read it a thousand times,
convince myself it isn’t true
I build a lock for it, too

One day you get a glimpse of me 
But I only look pretty from afar

You try to reach me 
You don’t understand
You hear my heart is screaming,
don’t know why I don’t let it out

Well, I only love in metaphors 
Unreachable, from afar
