I wished you away
But you stayed inside of my scars
I wasn't just in love with who you were
But who you are
You took my light
You took my fight
You took it and ran away with all your might
You took my peace
You took my dreams
And you grounded them in your gravity
You took everything I have
But I want it back
You came into my story like you knew you'd rewrite it all
Too bad you weren't there to hold me
You were just there to watch me fall
Over and over
Deeper and deeper
Further and further away from you
The smallest tease of glow kept me chasing your light
But I used to wish I'd never have you
'Cause then I couldn't want what wasn't mine
And if the only thing that heals is time
Why am I still waiting to be fine?
You took my light
You took my fight
You took it and ran away with all your might
You took my peace
You took my dreams
And you grounded them in your gravity
You took everything I have
But I want it back
Give it back
The fog lifted, but I still couldn't see a thing
I've learned that owning the chink in my armor
Doesn't mean I'm weak
And I know the only way over is through
But maybe letting go can mean holding loose
Maybe it's not that I won't survive you
It's that I have to want to
Maybe it's not that I won't survive you
It's that I don't want to
