To own

I can stay up here all night
I can think of ways
To live a more simple life

But it doesn't work that way
It may work easy for you
But for me I have to stay awake

I would have hoped it turned out ok
But living without you is never easy
Although I know it's only right

For now I can dream of kissing you
Holding my pillow
Remembering when I was holding you like you were mine
Only to let go, because I couldn't hold on tight

I let you slip away
I let you leave my life
I had no purpose
With or without you
I couldn't fight
I couldn't shine

Not as bright as I wanted to

At least alone, I have a sense of security
To make many choices
And make them on my own
