We started out, just you and I A spark that flew into the sky Your love was warm, a sweet embrace But now I find I need some space I'm caught in a love that's too tight to breathe In the chains of your arms, I'm starting to grieve A smothering touch that I used to crave Now it's pushing me to a love I must save You say you love me, that much is clear But your closeness is breeding fear I miss the days of sweet reprieve Now your shadows, they never leave I'm caught in a love that's too tight to breathe With every I miss you, I silently seethe The passion we had now feels like a maze In the cling of your love, I'm lost in a haze I need to find me, outside your hold Our love's turning from warm to cold I wish you could see, it's not about blame But love can't grow in a smothering flame I remember the fights, the screams, the fire The mess of love, the raw desire Now it's silence, in your constant gaze In the quiet, I long for those days I need more than a love that's too tight to breathe I need horizons, room to believe In your embrace, I found my way Now I'm searching for air, begging you to stay If you love me, let me find my pace In this dance of love, give me some space Your grip is love, but let it be light So we can love truly, in the day and the night
