Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tell me what you saw in me
And I'll try to replicate it with a scene
If it troubles you to breathe
Wait a moment, I could change the scenery
[Verse 2]
Don't carry on carrying efforts, oh, no, oh-oh, oh, oh
Somewhere there's a room for each of us to grow
And if it pleases you to leave me, just go, oh-oh, oh, oh
Stopping you would stifle your enchanting ghost
[Verse 3]
It's only that I meant to bring
Love and liveliness to your breast on the scene
Did you cut your hands on me?
Are my edges sharp? Am I a pest to feed?
[Verse 4]
Don't carry on carrying regrets, oh, no, oh-oh, oh, oh
Somewhere there's a room for us to speak alone
And if it grieves you to stay here, just go, oh-oh, oh, oh
For I have no spell on you, it's all a ghost
[Verse 5]
I still have the things you gave me
Four anointing oils, the paperweight you made
For sure, I haven't carried them
Or buried them in the name of your ghost, my friend
[Verse 6]
Don't carry on carrying efforts, don't go, no-oh, oh, oh
Stay with me until I sleep within your host
Or if it pleases you to leave me, just go, oh-oh, oh, oh
Stopping you would stifle your enchanting ghost
