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
