lyrics

Is it bad enough to leave?
Well it's bad enough to see that you don't love me.
I'm exposed and incomplete,
but I'm not looking for a dream or an apology.
'Cause I don't want a fantasy.
I don't wanna tie my love to a leash.
Said you agree, but words are cheap.
You keep talking, but you're not talking to me.

I'm tired of being patient.
Hate that I took the time
when you're still hooked on the dream.
No more temporary changes.
The half steps are done.
I'm taking my love back. I'm free.

I could learn to live in peace.
I can finally see what everybody sees.
I'll brush the dirt off of my knees.
I'll keep moving because I'm not going back to sleep.
I won't feign any sympathy.
And I won't be handing out love. You got enough from me.
I'll feel better once I'm free.
I'll feel better once I'm with new company.

I'm tired of being patient.
Hate that I took the time
when you're still hooked on the dream.
No more temporary changes.
The half steps are done.
I'm taking my love back. I'm free.

You take too much of me,
and it wears me down
holding out for mysteries
that don't reveal themselves.
There will be no jubilee
while you're around
'cause I can't live in reverie.
I'll feel better without you.
I'll feel better without you.

Don't put your dreams on top of me.
No one gets what they want.
Always chasing fantasies.

You take too much of me,
and it wears me down
holding out for mysteries
that don't reveal themselves.
There will be no jubilee
while you're around
'cause I can't live in reverie.
I'll feel better without.

You take too much of me,
and it wears me down
holding out. Your mysteries
never reveal themselves!
There will be no jubilee
while you're around
'cause I can't live in reverie.
I'll feel better without you.
I'll feel better without you.
