Common Sense
Reliks Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Hiding all my common sense from you
If I could make you understand I would
I'd tell you everything I wish you knew
But I guess that's tough

Your silhouette, your innocence
The memory of what you said
I'm in your bed

Your quiet breath is everything that I have left

Stuck inside this space that I made with you
Running around too scared to face the truth
Waking up is hard enough to do

Your silhouette, your innocence
The memory of what you said
I'm in your bed
Your quiet breath is everything that I have left

Oh, you said we'd be better as friends
But facing the loss is better than fooling myself

Feeling so lost
My mind starts to self-oscillate, repeating mistakes
Now I'm giving up

I've nothing to lose anyway
But I wish I was losing with you

I wish I was...
I wish I was...

Your silhouette, your innocence
The memory of what you said

I'm in your bed
Your quiet breath is everything that I have left

Hiding all my common sense from you
I am hiding my logical thinking and reasoning from you

If I could make you understand I would
If I had the ability, I would help you comprehend my perspective

I'd tell you everything I wish you knew
I'd inform you of all the things I expect you to know

But I guess that's tough
However, that seems to be difficult.

Your silhouette, your innocence
Your figure and purity

The memory of what you said
The remembrance of your statements

I'm in your bed
I am in the place where you sleep

Your quiet breath is everything that I have left
The only thing left for me is your peaceful breathing

Stuck inside this space that I made with you
Trapped in this area created with you

Running around too scared to face the truth
Afraid to acknowledge reality and moving frantically instead

Waking up is hard enough to do
Getting out of bed is already challenging

Oh, you said we'd be better as friends
You expressed that being friends is a more suitable option for us

But facing the loss is better than fooling myself
However, accepting the loss is preferable to deceiving oneself

Feeling so lost
Feeling confused and directionless

My mind starts to self-oscillate, repeating mistakes
My mind begins to fluctuate between choices and repeating previous errors

Now I'm giving up
Now, I am surrendering

I've nothing to lose anyway
I have nothing to lose regardless

But I wish I was losing with you
I desire to lose alongside you

Your silhouette, your innocence
Your figure and purity

The memory of what you said
The remembrance of your statements

I'm in your bed
I am in the place where you sleep

Your quiet breath is everything that I have left
The only thing left for me is your peaceful breathing
