Maybe we need to disappear Just for a little while Not because I don't love you But because we've forgotten how to smile We've been living in the same old hours Trying not to fall apart You look tired underneath the silence And I know it in my heart Maybe love is not just staying Maybe we need room to breathe So I'll let you find yourself again Even if you leave me If your heart needs somewhere distant If you need to be alone Don't be afraid to leave me waiting I'll still leave a light on Go, take the time you need Go find the air you couldn't breathe I'll be somewhere underneath The same moon you're looking at tonight We don't have to hold each other Every second just to know That what we have is still alive Even when we let each other go Maybe I'll miss you in the mornings Maybe you'll forget my name But I would rather lose you for a moment Than watch you slowly fade away I miss you Before you've even gone And I hate that I can feel the distance Before the distance has begun But loving you is not possessing you So take my hand... Then let it go If your heart still needs the silence If you need to hear your own I'll keep a light on in the window You can find me when you're home Go, take the time you need Go find the air you couldn't breathe And if you lose yourself out there I'll still remember who you are We don't have to hold each other Every second just to know That what we have is still alive Even when we let each other go GO— Take the time you need! Even if it tears me underneath! Run until your heart remembers What it means to feel alive! I will wait without a promise I will wait without a lie! If loving you means giving you A little space to survive— THEN GO! I won't stop you anymore! GO! Even if I miss you every night! Even if the silence hurts inside! Find the place where you can breathe Find the person you were meant to be! And when you're tired of running When you've seen everything you need— You can follow that old road You can follow it back to me! I won't need an explanation! I won't need another sign! Just come back when your heart says "Now... I think I'm finally fine." WE DON'T HAVE TO BE TOGETHER TO KNOW THAT THIS IS REAL! WE DON'T HAVE TO HOLD EACH OTHER TO KNOW WHAT WE STILL FEEL! SO IF YOU HAVE TO LEAVE— LEAVE! IF YOU HAVE TO RUN— RUN! JUST DON'T EVER THINK THAT LOVING YOU MEANS I HAVE TO KEEP YOU FROM BECOMING WHO YOU ARE! And when the whole world gets too heavy... When you don't know where to go... I'll still be here— I'll still be here— WHEN YOU COME HOME!
