Held to the fire I couldn't take it
And I'm so glad I didn't
Sometimes we wait for a love to get better
But some loves don't make you wait
And I'm glad you asked for this summer
For some time
Now that I think about it
Which I may never have done, before the sunlight broke between
I mean, I'd broken down to the point I didn't recognize how weak
That I'd become under your thumb,
You meant no harm, but just cared less
It made me desperate for your smile
When you left I'd just break down
Down to the wire I couldn't make it
And I'm so glad I didn't
Sometimes we wait for a love to get better
But some loves don't make you wait
And I'm glad you had your summer
I had mine
Now that I think about it
The part I loved was in me: how much, how real the dopamine
I mean, I'd broken prior, and been rudderless at sea until you
We were fine, we were fine, baby I wasn't fine though
"Take your time," I had sighed, "I'll be shining my halo"
We were fine, we were fine, baby I wasn't fine though
Now I see that I needed this time to release you
Held to the fire I couldn't take it
And I'm so glad I didn't
Sometimes we wait for a love to get better
But some loves don't make you wait
And I'm glad you had the summer
I had mine
I'm so glad we had this summer
I'm so glad we had this summer
Cuz some loves wouldn't make me wait
