the days
until I’d see you again
Now I count the ways I can get along
without you

I used to count
the sacrifices
that weren't pleasant
Now I count what I can do
without being acquiescent

I used to count
sheep
when I was up at night crying
Now I count how much sleep I get
without trying

I used to count
on you
for everything
Now I count on me
And I’m happy
