lyrics

I've been trying to set free all of the notions I've had of things that you could be
I've been trying to let go all the emotions I had that I was just too afraid to show

But if I was really trying to set you free, why did I let you spend more time in my mind than me?

Now I'm showing my age, doing whatever it takes just to avoid your gaze

And I'm sure you know it
But you sure don't show it
No, not when you show up again in a dress against which I cannot defend
