mairéad - ilena lyrics

lean out of the window, play god
around now, ribbons start to unfold
in disguise, hoping to be consoled
all your prospects are yet to turn gold

you waved goodbye for as long as possible
you cried, clutching wine, on her behalf; how horrible
you stole all her clothes and still were too cold
you have this illusion in which you are bold
but sometimes, the question’s just, “why’d we have to get old?”
and the closest you got was “to have and to hold.”

“tell me if you want to be something incomplete!”
“you’re the only one who knows mе, mairead!”
‘look me in the еye, i couldn’t die knowing you lied!”
“’cause you’re the only one who knows me, mairead!”

i break, ’cause i thought i’d just begun
to flow, thank god, you stopped me in my unforgiving run
motionless; that’s how i’ve existed
until now, with your face so insistent

cut bread or cut diamonds: choose one
clench t**th and bite them
you showed me that precious is just what’s in common
oh i tried…didn’t want to see myself this well
but with the mirror so searing it’s clear to tell
“tell me if you want to be something incomplete!”
“you’re the only one who knows me, mairead!”
‘look me in the eye, i couldn’t die knowing you lied!”
“’cause you’re the only one who knows me, mairead!”

tell me, will you ever find peace, mairead?
