All I Know

Linli Chen

They expect some words from me

 

Sorry for not being the type you hope

The shell outside me is getting thicker than before

Sorry for walking on the road no one’s taking

Dreams I once hoped to achieve were not glistening

Sorry for not meeting you in the conversation

Changing color of the leaves is changing me

Sorry for having that emotional temple

My inner world was wrecked and yet to fall

Sorry for not stopping the rain the day you met me

All I know is

 

A thousand excuses make me drown already
