Holding my breathe

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

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

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

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

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

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
