this is not what we are [meant to be]
today i had an inkling
of what it is you want
today i saw, beyond all doubt
everything i could be
and all i am
without you
this is not your innermost need
this is not your darkest desire
i am not what you want
i am not who you ache for
at night
and i never will be
what i want
what i need
does not mean the same
as what you long for
what you desire
you are not me
and that is why i love you
that is why i must let you go
we fight so hard
for what isn't right
we try to be what we need
but isn't it funny how
we're happiest when we're alone
maybe if i
was p e r f e c t for you
you would be content
that it is me who loves you
who cares for you
who is here
now
(always)
once upon a time, you cured all that i was
you taught me how to feel
you banished the chill from my soul
now i am just another burden
a threat to your freedom
keeping you prisoner
can you breathe
now that i'm not there?
does the air taste clean, sweet
is the weight of the world off your shoulders?
someday you will see
that we are not forever
no matter how badly i want otherwise
and you will walk
a w a y
i promise
i can still find my way
once you realize you're not coming home.
