I love the time and in between the calm inside me

In the space where I can breathe

I believe there is a distance I have wandered

To touch upon the years of reaching out and reaching in

Holding out, holding in I believe, this is heaven to no one else but me

And I'll defend it, long as I can be

Left here to linger in silence

If I choose to, would you try to understand? I know this love is passing time, passing through like liquid

I am drunk in my desire

But I love the way you smile at me

I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near I believe, I, I believe, this is heaven to no one else but me

And I'll defend it as long as I can be

Left here to linger in silence

If I choose to, would you try to understand? Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free

The mold that clings like desperation

Mother can't you see I've got to live my life the way I feel is right for me

Might not be right for you but it's right for me, oh I believe, this is heaven to no one else but me

And I'll defend it as long as I can be

Left here to linger in silence

If I choose to, would you try to understand it? I would like to linger here in silence

If I choose to, would you understand it?

Would you try to understand?

Would you try to understand?
