Lyrics[]
I follow you I wait for you, you know there's no escape from me You're more than wallpaper in my room I write you letters and bring you gifts I'm going through all your trash I love you so much I keep your cigarette butts Now is the time to come out, come out of the shadows No need to be scared you're gonna be so happy I built you a shrine Now you can be my icon I'm out on the edge there's no way back inside All my friends are gone they didn't understand me It makes so much sense there's no coincidence as you and I alone here and I need you oh How many hours have I stared at my face in the mirror I get worried sometimes that the image will shatter No need to be scared you're gonna be so happy I built you a shrine Now you can be my icon No need to be scared I built you a shrine now you can be my icon I know this is real believe it we belong together Whatever happens, you're gonna be with me forever Be my icon you will be my icon, be my icon you will be my icon Be my icon
