Nabihah Iqbal
This World Couldn’t See Us
[Verse 1]
When two-fold silence was the song of love
When life lived in dreams and time fell like rain
When all the summer flowers were for you and me
When life tasted sweet and fate was a friend
When all my secrets were yours to keep
Stuck inside your beauty, falling in too deep
When gentle magic took me by surprise
When we felt everything standing side by side
Swollen river, swollen eyes
Swollen thighs, swollen pride
Spring tide pulls you up
From the outside inside
Give me everything and nothing all at once
Let your emptiness overflow
Into love's scarce field, ready to sow

[Chorus]
This world couldn't see us
This world couldn't keep us
This world couldn't see us
This world couldn't keep us

[Verse 2]
"If death is freedom, then kill me now"
She said, as she took his hand
Standing side by side before the gates of horn and ivory
Before unforgiving destiny
Before fate that grants no mercy
You can have it all in return for everything
You can have it all in return for everything
You can have it all in return for everything
[Chorus]
This world couldn't see us
This world couldn't keep us
This world couldn't see us
This world couldn't keep us
This world couldn't see us
This world couldn't keep us
