I don't need your love in order to feel my heart,
I can find my peace of mind in any flickering star.
I don't need that feeling, in order to feel free
I can find my comfort in the boundless thundering sea.
It's not that I don't want it, or hope your mind will change,
but I don't need you as a lover to live up to my full range.
I'm hardly at my greatest, knowing I may not be in your dreams,
but living without your affection is not outside my means.
I won't go so far as to say that I don't have desires,
but I will not burn bridges with those fires.
I can smile without your whispers waking me each day,
and I can dwell on other things, than you pushing me away.
I can carry onward smiling, with your burden on my back,
albiet slightly less enthusiastic, lacking that.
It's not like there's no pining, in the deep part of my brain
but I don't need a lover with the tranquil hum of rain.
I can enjoy the sunlight without you to guide me there
and even if with effort, I can still admire and stare.
I won't go so far as to say that I don't have desires,
but I will not burn bridges with those fires.
Yea, I will not burn bridges with those fires.
Love, I won't burn our bridges with desires. |
