Switch It Off - Troels Abrahamsen

I used to hope that you would just disappear

I used to hope that you’d fall off the earth

But you’re still here like you would be

You’re still here but now you can be ignored

I won’t bow for your expectations no more

I can’t eat away at myself no more

I do love you as I’m supposed to

I do need you but I learned to switch it off

Sometimes I think that if you asked me now

I don’t think that I would say yes

I do love you like I’m supposed to

I do need you but I learned to switch it off

Now you want me to fall into your arms

Now you want me to be the offspring to take yourself further

Now you need me on your death bed

Now you see me, now you don’t

I won’t bow for your exceptions no more

I can’t eat away at myself no more

I do love you as I’m supposed to

I do need you but I learned to switch it off
