Elsewhere
Bethany Joy Lenz

I love the time and in between
the calm inside me
in the space where I can breathe
I believe there is a
distance I have wandered
to touch upon the years of
reaching out and reaching in
holding out holding in

I believe
this is heaven to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as I can be
left here to linger in silence
if I choose to
would you try to understand

I know this love is passing time
passing through like liquid
I am drunk in my desire
but I love the way you smile at me
I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near
I believe

Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free
the mold that clings like desperation
Mother can't you see I've got
to live my life the way I feel is right for me
might not be right for you but it's right for me
I believe

Mine. All mine. :)

Let Me Fall
(still by) Bethany Joy Lenz

Its October again
The leaves are coming down
One more years come and gone
And nothings changed at all

Wasnt I supposed to be someone
To face the things that I’ve been running from

Let me feel
I don’t care if I break down
Let me fall
Even if I hit the ground
And if I cry a little, die a little
At least I know I lived
Just a little

Ive become much too good
At being invincible
Im an expert at play it safe
And keep it cool

But I swear
This isnt who I meant to be
I refuse to let my life roll over me

I wanna be somebody
Who can face the things that I’ve been running from

Let me feel
I dont care if I break down
Let me fall
Even if I hit the ground
And if I cry a little, die a little
At least I know I lived

Its October again
Leaves are coming down
One more years come and gone
And nothings changed at all
