Pristine

Sometimes I don't understand

How I'm supposed to feel

You speak to me in verse, in lines

I cannot read between

I'm not lonely if I can hold on to it all

I'll try this time, I'll be better than before

I won't emerge unscathed from this

I never was pristine

I have the scars, I hide them well

But I can never leave

I'm not lonely if I can hold on to it all

I'll try this time, I'll be better than before

I'm not lonely if I can hold on to it all

I'll try this time, I'll be better than before

And I'll never know all that I need to stay whole

And I'll never know all that I need to stay whole

And I'll never know all that I need to stay whole
