Till The Water Runs Clear

(アルバム： And Then Came You - 2023)

Close your eyes
There, can you see it?
The lens through which you judge the things I say
It's just like mine, if you can believe it
But it ultimately differs night and day

When I try to make it nice, it gets worse
And no amount of love can change the course
The more I try to smooth out the cracks
I just can't seem to get you off my back

Is it too late? For me?
How will I be remembered when I leave?
Let it rain on me
Let the water trickle down until I'm clean
Until the water runs clear (Clear)
'Til the water runs clear (Clear)
'Til the water runs clear

You say we're the same
Yeah, do you mean it?
When you say you don't see colour
Don't see me?
My inherited shame
Yeah, can you feel it?
The burden of my father now on me

I don't think I'm meant for this world
It wants me straight, but I huddle up and curl
But I don't want to give up the fight
It's black or white, it's wrong or right, and I am just a girl

Is it too late? For me?
How will I be remembered when I leave?
Let it rain on me
Let the water trickle down until I'm clean
Until the water runs clear (Clear)
'Til the water runs clear (Clear)
'Til the water runs clear

Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
'Til the water runs clear
