lyrics

I'm a storm in a cup
I am never enough
I can't be what you need me to be
I'm a fiery sun
I could be the one
But I'm too near for anything to grow

And
Who am I, who am I
To keep you close
Who am I, who am I
Making you morose
Who am I, who am I
To destruct you so
Who am I, who am I
Should I let you go

I'm a paper fold
Seems I'm standing but
Even one drop
Could have me down below
I'm the rat in the hold, I
I'm penicillium mould
I reside where I'm not meant to be

And
Who am I, who am I
To keep you close
Who am I, who am I
Making you morose
Who am I, who am I
To destruct you so
Who am I, who am I
Should I let you go

And I'm weak with a fear
Can you handle it dear
Are you weary from holding me up
I'm a storm in a cup
I am never enough
I can't be what you need me to be
I can't be what you need me to be

And
Who am I, who am I
To keep you close
Who am I, who am I
Making you morose
Who am I, who am I
To distract you so
Who am I, who am I
Should I let you go

Who am I, who am I
To keep you close
Who am I, who am I
Making you morose
Who am I, who am I
To destruct you so
Who am I, who am I
Should I let you go
