You start with my clothes, but let me compose myself
You make me feel tired, I'm left on your wire, my love
You know that you've got the deadliest lips I've felt
My friends in darkness, they wanted to hear you're well
You know I would fight, but I need some time to float
Cause you moved on to fly so far away, away
And you grew strong, and you moved fast, yeah you're moving away
But to breathe on, what a concept, could I take a shot at loving myself?
Is that an option? What's it costing to mend what once was warmth?
And I say, "You're not the one that got away, you're the one I let go"
I shared all my love, and the pain it will never heal
You're the one I think of, but the joy I will never feel
You know I would fight, but I need time to float
And I'm a little overwhelmed, so I'll take this love to go
Cause you moved on to fly so far away, away
And you grew strong, and you moved fast, yeah you're moving away
But to breathe on, what a concept, could I take a shot at loving myself?
Is that an option? What's it costing to mend what once was warmth?
And I say, "You're not the one that got away, you're the one I let go"
You know I fought those mistakes, but the time won't let go
