Room To Breathe

I still take you to bed, but it's the you I face instead
Where I use every word I never said to crack you open
There was barely room to breathe
Getting the skeptic to believe
That the goal wasn't to leave one of us broken
If it's true nothing gets close to you for fear of melting down
Then I've become the chosen one, an example for the crowd

Your star is due for shooting and I'll be watching the night sky
In hopes by then what binds us has come untied

I'm the tune of a lesser band
Sea legs on dry land
Thinking how you foreited your hand to keep us from winning
I watch them orbiting around you now, just like you showed them how
And you reach out like the hand of God, a tap will keep them spinning
If it's true they flock to you without your shepards call
For a change just let them range and see how far you fall

Your star is due for shooting and I'll be watching the night sky
In hopes that soon what binds has will come untied

Can I take it back? Can I take it back now?

It's what the loss of our friends brings
It's in the way you held my strings
It's now all the little things I can't help but doubt
Sometimes I wish I'd never known just how brilliantly you shown
Right before you threw the stone to cast me out.
