lyrics

I said goodbye to my baby at airport security
I waved her off then i broke down because i never meant for her to leave
I hurt her like i've never hurt anyone before
I really fucked it up
I let her be as vulnerable as possible and then i abused her trust

I love her but that it not enough
When i don't understand, i don't' have the answers
She tells me that i need to grow up
Well for you my love i will

She gave me everything she had to give
She risked all she knew she could
But I shut down I disconnected like I knew deep down I would
But i didn't leave it there i abandoned her in panic
Cause i'm terrified of confronting my fears
She tells me that she loves me but i caused her so much pain
That's the thing I don't deserve to hear

I love her but that is not enough
When I act without feeling and I feel without acting
She tells me that i need to work on my stuff
Well for you my love I will

This love, i never felt something so real
So electric so forgiving so humble and uplifting
If i could tumble to the ground then i would kneel
At your feet and love you like you need me to love you
But my mind is like a scattering of birds
Migrating north into the bitter frozen isolated winter
I can't love you when I don't know the way for myself
But I'll find my way, I'll find my way

I broke you when you looked to me for safety
What is safety when your heart is being used as a shelter
Take your anger baby feel it hate me if you think its better
I will take it, i'll endure it after all i made you suffer
