To be free of me

(Verse 1)

Another day, a blow to the gut

Begging for a glance, but the door’s staying shut

I’m asking for halfway, just a hand in the dark

But I’m left with the ash, searching for a spark

I sit in the shame, in the guilt, in the grey

Watching the pain in your eyes fade away

If I could dissolve it, make it dissipate

I’d take all the heartache, I’d shoulder the weight.

(Chorus)

Oh, love, my love

Given so freely, the stars up above

Blind and naive, I walked in the trance

Lost in the rhythm, I never had a chance

Willing to give you the whole of my soul

But I’m just a burden, and you’re losing control.

(Verse 2)

You had me entirely, nobody else

Locked in the quiet, tucked on the shelf

You were held close, the pulse of my heart

The one that you’re tearing, the one falling apart

The love that you hate is the love that I gave

The only true anchor in this tidal wave.

(Chorus)

Oh, love, my love

Given so freely, the stars up above

Blind and naive, I walked in the trance

Lost in the rhythm, I never had a chance

Willing to give you the whole of my soul

But I’m just a burden, and you’re losing control.

(Bridge)

If I could reach in and take out your pain

If I could stop all the cold, steady rain

I’d set you free, let you fly, let you be

Because I want you happy—

Even if you aren’t happy with me.

(Outro)

To be free of me…

My love, my love

I love thee.

(Fade out)
