[Verse 1] I can miss you and need distance I can love you and say no I can want another chapter While accepting we should close I can treasure what you gave me Without asking for it back Two opposing truths can coexist Without either one collapsing [Chorus] Hold the contradiction Don't force it into one Love can still be present When the easy part is done I don't need a simple answer I don't need somebody wrong Sometimes two conflicting feelings Both belong inside the song [Verse 2] I spent years chasing consistency Like goodness meant one voice But every life contains collisions Every heart contains a choice I can wish you every happiness Even when it isn't mine I can carry love beside regret And let them intertwine [Bridge] Growing up is not becoming Someone certain all the time Maybe wisdom means accepting That the mess can still be kind [Outro] Hold the contradiction Let both truths survive
