Giving up on the dream of a man for life
One where he’d be husband to my wife 
And the aching of tomorrows won’t hold me near
Is there anyone I can call dear
Coz the forest it grew around your name
I’m at a loss and it’s all the same
Coz you’re the one I had earmarked for the role
Staring at you through the depths of my soul
By now I’m just fine drinking down wine
Say it’s just as well for the thousandth time
Coz you’ve got a girl or a woman, I know
I’m just making angels traced in the snow
Coz you held my hand for once and forever
Growing up strong through the human endeavor 
But all of your might can’t snatch this candle
Maybe I was just too much to handle
Coz you build mountains in testament to
All that I never was to you
And I throw out the flame but end up burned
We’re just standing on earth as the axis turned
And I know you’ve soliloquies hidden somewhere
It’s just long past the time that I dare
To go searching in the brush
You can take it easy, you don’t have to rush
Coz I still see you somewhere made of stars
Like the song goes I’m just chasing cars
Somewhere around in my head
It’s been eight years but the feeling ain’t dead
Only lying in wait for what is to come
Could you really not be the one
As I set my glass at the end of the page
I think I’ll love you for an eon or age
Coz I’ve ripped out the sequins from my party dress
I’m standing at your door and I confess
That I’ll love you forever til the end of my days
But it’s okay if we go our separate ways
Coz you’ve got summer hidden in your bones 
And I always love to kick it alone
But I wish you well and the best of health
Trying hard to stay open in the days of stealth 
But you know that this verdant green is a wealth
You were the heat, I’m a snowflake to melt
And if you see me somewhere in the future
I’ll nod my head and I’ll salute ya
Coz you were the brilliance for me just once
Now you’re free as a bird, well that’s just a hunch
And maybe someday we’ll be come what may
But just for now I’ve got to say
That I’m letting you be as the rope goes slack
I love you but, darling, I don’t want you back
