Swear To

The ticking of the clock is annoying, the dawn at midnight
The darkness lurking inside the mirror
I can hear footsteps, making no sound
Supposed to be extinguished, the flame of loneliness
Before I knew it, in front of my eyes, you're hiding and laughing

I thought I had nothing to lose
Intending to get used to loneliness
If you need me
I will never erase you from my life

I swear to you
Forever close to you

Empty days, fake smiles, not shedding a tear
To me like that, you whisper
[Crying is not something to be ashamed of]
Confusing myself
What was I trying to protect? I am a clown in a forest of hesitation

Saying 'There's no sincerity anywhere'
You kept insisting on that
You taught me that there are things that never change
I will keep protecting you

Avoiding eye contact, listening closely, I was in a dream
The reason for me to exist is vague

Not even realizing I want to be loved
Intending to get used to loneliness
If you need me
I will keep protecting you

I swear to you
Forever close to you
