drive me to a quieter place
where my body can feel good while it waits
to be lifted from the ground
like a symbol for ending what's been keeping me down
if i can hear you breathe
then i can hear life
and that should be enough for me
wake me up from sleeping too long
to remind me my dependency's gone
and i'm able to rely on myself
for the things i take from everyone else
an honest goodbye
is enough to keep me by your side
you don't need warmth
when someone still makes you feel alive
i'm better off now
with a reason to open my eyes
and stumble outside
you can see through me
but you couldn't see past this mess
if you took away what leaves me breathless
