Islème Sassi (2013) for the muses

Please, don’t think me rude

But solitude is all

That might help me now

Believe me, my heart is pure

But insecure

I’ve got a song on my mind

I’ve got a burden on my tongue

I’ve got a splinter in my head

But I’m not the one you’re looking for

No, I can’t play your song

I’ve still got it all wrong in my head

I need to grow strong

I’ve got to forget all that was said

Cause nothing of it has brought me closer

Not one step to see clear

And no one of them has ever moved an inch

To help me fend off my fears

I’ve turned my back on all of their rules

I’ll follow you

I sincerely doubt that they’ve ever tried

To make things right

If they did it was pointless

Their lack of self-esteem

It made me small, they tried to drag me in

They built a pattern of sorrow

Running like poison through my veins

Like drugs to brain

Still I’m not the one you’re looking for

All of my life I’ve been looking for someone

To stand by my side

All my life I’ve been wishing for a soulmate.
