about

This song was written from Catra's POV but you can also imagine it from Adora's POV! kinda matches for both but I write this specifically with Catra in mind because she's my favourite (mwah)

ALSO THE SEASON 5 TRAILER IS FINALLY OUT HOW ARE WE FEELING! do you have any theories for the events to come?

I actually finished writing the lyrics in December 2019 but the piano took me FOREVER to finish (and also I procrastinated a little) BUT HERE IT IS
I'm posting this a few hours after the Season 5 trailer dropped and I have seriously high hopes for this last season! Catra redemption plsplsplspls-

lyrics

[VERSE 1]
when the day is done
and night descends
the shadows surround me
my only friends.

the dark, the light
they look the same to me.
there’s only power
but you don’t agree.

[PRE-CHORUS]
look me in the eye
tell me i’m a monster
put your hand in mine
say that i’m a goner
what would I give
for you to call my name

this isn’t what I wanted
the walls scream your name,
i’m haunted
by our memories that you went and tossed away
yet you say i’m the one to blame.

[CHORUS]
look me in the eye
say the reason why
you left
was I not enough?
was it too tough to love me?

I still feel the ghosts of your embrace,
in your bed, there’s empty space.
no one can replace.

[VERSE 2]
I remember
all those years ago
you were the shining star
crushing me below.

now things are different
but I stand alone
maybe I would have left
if I had known.

[PRE-CHORUS]
look me in the eye
tell me i’m a monster
put your hand in mine
say that i’m a goner
what would I give
for you to call my name

this isn’t what I wanted
the walls scream your name,
i’m haunted
by our memories that you went and tossed away
yet you say i’m the one to blame.

[CHORUS]
look me in the eye
say the reason why
you left
was I not enough?
was it too tough to love me?

I still feel the ghosts of your embrace,
in your bed, there’s empty space
no one can replace

[BRIDGE]
you shined so bright
you didn’t see me in dark
you held my hand
but you didn’t understand
I was content
being your right hand man.

who took the fall when you left?
who stayed behind
with all the rest
now that you’re gone
I am the best

Look me in the eye.
