Rather from Rather (Single) by Catia Dignard

I’ve wanted for,
so long to
Feel this peacefulness,
inside,
On my own
But it stays at bay,
as if the past wanted to
chase it away…

So afraid we could fail,
That I could scare you,
away,
This “used up” someone,
too scarred inside out,
to feel brand new

Past is so lonesome,
The past is so dangerous
Feel like
Hiding from all
the pain, the stains,
that plague me

And if I saved myself
for you, would it be
all about us two?
Forever, forever
I’d rather be with you,
here,
than in the past

Interlude

I hope you could welcome me
in all your sorrows
Don’t want to be left out
with my own
Forever,
I’d rather be with you,
here,
Than in the past

Love is here now,
Can’t go farther
than this...
Take what’s yours
I don’t mind
Take what’s mine,
rip it off
At least I’ve found
myself, in this space

And if I said goodbye
to my past
would you stay with me,
here, at last?
Forever, forever
I’d rather be with you
here,
than in the past

Rather be with you here,
Than in the past…
