There's a time and place that you love me,
And for that I should feel lucky.
Though I crave it constantly,
I know that's so unhealthy.
So Ill let you go
into all of your dimensions.
I love you so,
but have I ever mentioned
how I also love the moon
and the stars above the mountains?
And the quiet as I swim
through the lake in the early mornin...
It seems I forgot how much I loved
anything but you.
Felt so wrong to pull away but
If I could tell you the truth,
Sometimes I like it better when you're gone,
So I can put on my favorite songs,
And get lost in the afternoon.
I've been so scared for far too long
That if I took the time
You'd carry on
Without me,
And I'd be just a memory.
But I think what I was really scared of
Is letting myself fall out of love
With the notion that I needed you
To be all that I wanted to,
And that I could be happy
Without you beside me.
So I begged you to keep me
And put everything aside,
To sacrifice what I had
When I left myself behind.
And though I do love you,
I am so grateful that you left.
I was never strong enough
To lay us down to rest.
