Moving On

You're fading from my imaginationÂ
I'm finally ready to let goÂ
Honey, you're not my priced possessionÂ
I am no longer holding onÂ
I'm different nowÂ
I need to do what's better for myselfÂ
It's not some power playÂ
It's self respectÂ
And I'm not sorry that I'm leavingÂ
I won't apologize for who I amÂ
I can't believe I wasted all these yearsÂ
On something that was so depressingÂ
The sparkle in my eyes was drowned by the tearsÂ
You left me broken on the floor obsessingÂ
Old habits die hard, I won't forget youÂ
I'm still stressingÂ
Still searching for your face in crowdsÂ
But one of these daysÂ
Your voice will be so faint so distantÂ
It will never fully go awayÂ
The thing is that I wouldn't  listenÂ
And at the same time I would not resistÂ
I would just let it be thereÂ
Like the darkness is a background to the starsÂ
This world... it needs such contrastÂ
One day I'll meet a stranger who'll be everything you never wereÂ
I needed you to show me painÂ
For him to teach me loveÂ
