Did you know that I left someone else to be with you?
I kept it a secret for the longest time
He was young and was beautiful
Was cynical like you
But he was not as accessible
I moved and he withdrew
Withdrew into nothingness
Made me feel ashamed
He made me feel as if I was nothing
But you came along
Came a long, long way to see me
Fell out of the sky
Stood upright and said your name
And I almost let go
Of the idea of solace
Till you stood in the slow rain
Like a painting of a painting
Did you know that I gave my breath up
To be with you?
I kept it a secret for the longest time
I held myself tightly
So nowhere would escape
My heart was always hovering
Between my fear and faith
Cause you never know when
You're gonna run out of oxygen
Like I'm feeling right now
Inside, so
And you came along
Came a long, long way to see me
Fell out of the sky
Stood upright and said your name
And I almost let go
Of the idea of solace
Till you stood in the slow rain
Like a painting of a painting
Did you know that I gave my breath up

I was frozen when you came and found me
I was shaking like a four-wheel
I was hoping you would stop me
Now I'm aching with the sweet relief
I am stronger than you ever noticed
I am stronger than you realized
I am breaking with the sound of freedom
Begging me to never compromise
Cause you came along
Came a long, long way to see me
Fell out of the sky
Stood upright and said your name











And I almost let go
Of the idea of solace
Till you stood in the slow rain
Like a painting of a painting
Like a painting of a painting
Like a painting of a painting
When you came and found me
Was shaking like a folding beam
I was hoping you would stop me
Tell me now I'm aching sweetly
I am stronger than you ever noticed
I am stronger than you realize
I am burning with the prize
You're afraid of begging me to never compromise
