Forced you on to me with no choice to be free
I wanted to fly in the wind but you stayed on the land.
When I wanted to swim in the ocean, you wanted dry sand.
Apparently loving you would be better for me.
Take me far, make life easy.
Hand in hand with you I strayed
My own reflection I wanted to make.
Not she who looked back from waters so thin, eyes set in
Not she with hair like burnt wood
You looked back at me from wherever I stood
They told me, years ago, I had to love you.
Through the journey of life, we grew
Years passed and I still hate you.
They told me, years ago, I had to love you.
Forced you on to me with no choice to be free
But when I did, I realized I was better for it.
We’re both on land, but we both fly.
Hand in hand, beat the high tide.
They told me years ago I had to love you
If I couldn’t love myself, then who would?
