Through A Screen

by Sara Layn

on This World Is Wrong (2019), Epiphany: The Best of Chaka Khan, Vol. 1 (1996)

I'm so bored in front of the screen
Waiting for you to log in
I'm so tired but I can't sleep
My thoughts are slowly killing me
And I need you here

Lately I've felt so alone
No one seems to understand what's going on
And I know all the people around me
Don't see what you see

'Cause I'm living life through a screen
And I wish you were here, yeah I wish you were here
So you could dry my tears
And I'd feel your arms around me
And there'd be no place I'd rather be
But I'm living through a screen

You're always there, understanding me
More than anyone else will ever be
So when others try to make me fall
I think of you to remind myself I'm worthy of love

But I'm living life through a screen
And I wish you were here, yeah I wish you were here
So you could dry my tears
And I'd feel your arms around me
And there'd be no place I'd rather be
But I'm living through a screen

Are you real? Are you for real?
You're too good to be here

'Cause I'm living life through a screen
And I wish you were here, yeah I wish you were here
So you could dry my tears
And I'd feel your arms around me
And there'd be no place I'd rather be
But I'm living through a screen
