[Intro]
I’ve been dreaming, I’ve been hoping, I’ve been praying for your flame
But I know I gotta let go of the past, even if I feel the pain
[Verse 1]
Walking streets alone, thinking ’bout how you used to be
Lost in memories that haunt, like shadows in my mind’s decree
Your smile, your touch, oh girl, I still crave it deep inside
But I’ve learned to breathe, to believe, that I can't be waiting blind
[Pre-Chorus]
So I pour my love into the air, into the night
Hoping someday you’ll see, I’m still holding on tight
But I gotta face the truth, set my heart free
Real love’s about what’s best for me
[Chorus]
Loving you, it’s holding a flame but letting it burn away
I’m not holding my breath, babe, I gotta find my own way
Waiting’s a burden, but my heart’s got to mend
Loving you, I give it up, knowing you may never come back again
[Bridge]
Maybe someday, in another time, or different space
I’ll find peace in my heart, in my own grace
For now I’ll love, but I’ll let go, I’ll set you free
’Cause true love’s about what’s best for me
[Outro]
So I’ll keep on loving, keep on living, let the past fade
Not holding my breath, girl, I’ll keep my love unswayed
I’ll cherish the moments, but I’ll move forward, I’ll be okay
Loving you from afar, gently, day by day
