Description
Sometimes other people's lives look like a shop window - they shine and reflect light, as if there were no stains or cracks in them. You want to fit in there, to become another neat detail in someone else's order. But the harder you try, the more obvious it becomes that the place is already taken - by everything except real warmth. And then all that's left is to stand aside and watch as the “perfect” falls apart at the seams, as smiles crack, and fatigue shows through the polish. It's sad, but also a little liberating - to understand that you don't have to be part of every beautiful picture. Sometimes it's better to just walk away - without spoiling the composition, but finally getting yourself back.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Two, three, four. Did you, did you, did you waste your time?
Or did I just give you all of mine?
I thought I could fit into your perfect life.
I see it when I look into your eyes. You were just waiting to escape.
Because I was just another sacrifice for your perfect little life.
I guess there's just no space for me in your perfect life.
So tell the lie.
I'll listen to it every time.
You say you're better for me 'cause you're someone I know.
But paradise, it never really satisfies.
And the constant battle, it's there all the time.
I guess there's just no space for me.
I guess there's just no place to be.
Did you, did you, did you waste your time?
Or did I just give you all of mine?
I thought I could fit into your perfect life.
I see it when I look into your eyes.
You were just waiting to escape.
Because I was just another sacrifice for your perfect little life.
I guess there's just no space for me in your perfect life, in your perfect life.
I got lost. I got lost. And then you found me when I was nothing.
And I was caved in, traded in everything I ever was.
I got lost. I got lost. And then you turned me into something.
And now I see through your eyes that I deserve someone better.
You'll never be satisfied with all the broken pieces you call your perfect life.
I used to be a part of it, and now I realize that I'm the broken pieces you called your perfect life.
Did you, did you, did you waste your time?
Or did I just give you all of mine?
I thought I could fit into your perfect life.
I see it when I look into your eyes. You were just waiting to escape.
Because I was just another sacrifice for your perfect little life.
I guess there's just no space for me.
I guess there's just no place to be in your perfect life.
