Should Set You Free, by bedazzled Subscribe to rss feed for bedazzled

It frightens me,
I watch the evidence
piling, piling.
I don't know,
what to do.
How can this be?
Why aren't I
smiling, smiling?
My world is centred
around you.

So how am I supposed to hear myself here
when I can only listen to your heartbeat?

Maybe
I don't want to know
about this thing called liberty.
I don't want to know
if I should really set you free
'cause how could I ever remember,
ever surrender
to being alone?
How could I ever learn
to heal the burn
upon my bones?
I love you too much to see,
I should set you free.

It's killing me,
I hear the whispers they're
calling, calling.
Everything 
is shades of blue.
This misery;
why am I still here
falling, falling?
I don't know how
to start anew.

So how am I supposed to find myself here
when I can only see myself in your reflection?

Maybe
I don't want to hear
about 'if you love them let them go'.
I don't want to hear
that by this time I should know
'cause how could I ever walk,
ever talk
without you?
How could I ever heal,
keep it real
like you do?
I love you too much to see,
I should set you free.

I know, it's so selfish, 
I am just too weak.
I know, I'm a coward 
for these words I can't speak.
I know, there's someone out there 
who can love you better,
but better doesn't mean they'll ever
love you more than me.

Maybe, maybe
I don't want to know.
Baby, baby,
I can't let you go...

You're too kind
to walk away, 
don't just stay,
my baby.
