Lyrics: Laura Marie. This Time.

I used to think that it was only me
the way my world collides
with every truth I seek
and how I couldn?t keep myself
from falling deep into
the waiting void that I have left in me

You used to think that it was only you
the way my world revolved
around the things you do
and how I couldn?t keep myself
from falling through into
the waiting void and how
that still seems true

If I was made to fly and you were gone
could I, without the strings you tie,
make it and make it alone
this time

I?ve never come this far

I used to keep a little piece of mind
I kept it tucked behind my ear
a little light that I could ride away
upon in troubled times
it?s just another part of me
that I can?t find

I?ve never come this far
but I know I want to stay here
for the moment I can see
why you had to let me feel this way
I wouldn?t cry if I didn?t know
that I could have been here yesterday
but I wouldn?t have tried
without you on my side,
if you hadn?t let me go
and you didn?t want to know
if I was...

made to fly and you were gone
could I, without the strings you tie,
make it and make it alone
this time
