Take my shaky hands
help them settle on their own
leave me be
let my heart heal
give me space and solitude
I will return
and I will be stronger because of it
your body and mind
look enticing, as they always have
but I know I would only get more lost
trying to make a home
where I don't belong
and I don't belong with you
I don't belong
but I know where I do
and I'm here right now
and I'm home

Take my shaky hands
help them settle on their own
leave me be
let my heart heal
give me space and solitude
I will return
and I will be stronger because of it
your body and mind
look enticing, as they always have
but I know I would only get more lost
trying to make a home
where I don't belong
and I don't belong with you
I don't belong
but I know where I do
and I'm here right now
and I'm home
