Can I keep my heart at bay, still frames of what has passed, anymore
Am I fracturing my time to only gain some peace of mind in the end
Rising up above my shadow looking out at all that lies before
I've gotta hold onto something more before this time pulls me down again
As I push my love away
It leaves me wandering alone
But this darkness will not cover me
Start to make it on my own
I come back for more
Oh no, don't leave me behind
I just want to belong
I'm just trying to breathe
Free of control
I've got to let it all be
I've got to let it all go
I've left enough of my pain and suffering behind that all my love can grow
Stronger than my peers that never take the time for what they all deserve
But we're all just standing still in our complicated wills to survive
I've gotta open up my heart a little more until the edge disappears
As I push my love away
It leaves me wandering alone
But this darkness will not cover me
Start to make it on my own
I come back for more
Oh no, don't leave me behind
I just want to belong
I'm just trying to breathe
Free of control
I've got to let it all be
I've got to let it all go
Yes I come back for more
Don't leave me behind
I just want to belong
I'm just trying to breathe
Oh free of control
Oh free of this pain
I've gotta let it all be
I've gotta let it all go
