you said you weren't ready had to go find your way you said you're becoming someone else didn't recognize your own face you looked back over your shoulder gave me a little smile you said it might only take a minute or it could take a good long while and so I released my grip like a bird, set you free to see if you could find it yourself and what you need but it took longer than a moment you've been gone for quite some time I don't know if you found it yet what you searched for that wasn't mine I couldn't get close to your spirit inside there's no soul to bear I couldn't fix you, couldn't save you but I tried--laying my heart bare in the breeze you're still soaring looking for that place to land and in my dreams I'm crying over what we didn't have
