He

(S. Veríssimo)

You can't choose who you fall in love with, and sometimes you fall in love with someone who could never love you back. This song is about that feeling of knowing you have to let go.

He's moonlight,
He's dark,
He's poetry,
He's art.
He's everything you're not,
Who he is could never be taught.

Eyes like jade,
Skin like canvas,
You wish he were yours,
The impossibility makes you anxious.

I wished he was mine too, you know?
Once,
A long time ago.
Now I know he could never be.
You don't cage a wild bird.
You let it fly, 
You set it free.

Emerald eyes,
Pierce into your soul.
Pearly teeth,
Dimpled smile,
When directed at you.
You can't avoid it,
You're whole.

He's everything you've ever wanted,
And he will never be your own.
But you don't care,
Do you?
His existence is enough,
To turn to flesh
A heart once made of stone.

He's everything you've ever wanted,
Everything you'll never have.
But you've made your peace;
The world will keep spinning,
Even if your heart is cut in half.

He's everything.
He's joy,
He's love,
He's perfection,
He's all of the above.

And you love him.
Oh, how deeply you love him.
So you set him free.
You let him shine on his own.
You love him,
And now he's gone.
