lyrics

When I'm happy I don't need you
when l'm not, you're better off alone, I’m better off alone
I know that it was long ago but I still feel like it was yesterday
If I don't add something new I'll evaporate away

And everything that disappeared like smoke with him
needs something whole to take its place

I never asked for this new perspective,
I would have stayed completely wrapped up him if he had let me
I've got too much time, not enough work, not enough hurt to keep my racing mind tired

I want to go too far, care too much, dive too deep and come back gasping for air
I want to fill it all up and speed it up too fast, bring it back down and slow dance with you

To someone with a hammer every problem looks like a nail
but to someone with quick feet and a slow tongue a problem means that you should run

we were headed for something better but we just got to where we are
If you spend long enough awake at night you learn to see in the dark

I'm sorry that I pulled away I'm sorry I apologize too much
But your hands just make me nervous when they're so confident and close enough to touch mine

If you need to leave then go,
just don't slam the door so loud
I won't hold onto you
if you're sure that you can't stay
And when you leave I'll pretend that
I've forgotten you
And if you come back I'll pretend
That you never went away

Like an old pair of shoes things we lose have a way of coming back in the end
I just hope that my voice will hold onto its sound before you come back again
