It feels weird to say so
but I have to let you go.
Stop those frenzied hands
sweetly polluted by the memories
of yours all over my body...
Let them belong to someone else...
let them become other, let them grow further

The doors have been opened wide
They open when they wish, not at my whim!
A new world for me to taste
I've been delivered tonight
from your heavy spell
which meant nothing in the end!
It's just the meaning I want it to take

You were the fuel for my poems
but a fundamental change comes
Life is wider than a notebook.
Away, away from you. Always there too.
Nothing more than the soil for the new
I have to carry on. Can't be holding on to you,
breaking me down, making me grow fond
of your unattainable love!
and your promises, and your problems
which I do feel deep inside
but being troubled never stopped me
from trying to fly high
From eventually getting it
and joyously clap my hands

I feel lightheaded - but yesterday, I was
******* excited
I have to forget you, I saw it clear like water
Can't cling to your dream
a dream that is never fully fulfilled.
And his hand is below my skirt
and it gives me the chills
And his kiss, oh his kiss
Tonight I could die for this

I can't give up the habit!
You are deep ingrained in my circuits
But it's a thought for today
We can't spend eternity
begging for our love
I can't spend my whole life
waiting for you to come right
I just want to fly...but you are grounded
And I don't want to rot away
Flying - I just need to
And I have to, I tell you
Maybe you were just a part
of my chaotic life
Important, but not the core one
