Black Notebook - Ane Brun

My mind was playing on repeat

I could no longer separate what was real

From my own strong will to feel

That everything was fine

I decided to write down my endless thoughts on paper

To try to make everything seem a little clearer

I found a little black notebook on top of my refrigerator

I started ripping out the pages that I’d already used

I tore them apart — I needed a fresh start

And then I read some notes I made last year in October

There they were — the same phrases I’ve been repeating over and over

Let’s go deeper

I wanna go deeper

I wanna be the best I can be with you

I wanna feel free

I wanna be me

I wanna be the best I can be with you

Real change might take what turns

And when you think you moved on

You still need a little time to really come around

And the naked truth to release the mind

When I read those notes I made last year in October

I realised I’ve been losing my dream over and over

Let’s go deeper

I wanna go deeper

I wanna be the best I can be with you

I wanna feel free

I wanna be me

I wanna be the best I can be with you
