I know that it's not right
And I know you know it too
It's an awful kind of fight
And we've got so much that we could lose
Not against each other
We're just fighting our own selves
We long to be free
But we don't long for anyone else

So I've gotta let you breathe
And I'm gonna do some breathing too
Just remember when I leave
I'm coming back for you

You've got so much ambition, I love that about you
But ambition can lead down so many paths
I'm on a different road to you
I know deep down you love me
I love you too but love makes us blind
Let me tell you again how perfect you are
Just not the perfect time

So I've gotta let you breathe
And I'm gonna do some breathing too
Just remember when I leave
I'm coming back for you

And you shook my world apart
I had it all mapped out until you came and you took my heart
There may have been misdirection of affection at the start
But now I know if you're the target on the dart
And if you're the match, I'll try to be the spark

So I've gotta let you breathe
And I'm gonna do some breathing too
Just remember when I leave
Don't forget me when I leave
I hope you know that when I leave
I'm coming back for you
