You gave it to me when I was young

Before our ribbon of love had come undone

And the strain of aloneness boxed me in

The bright colored flowers and the cool winter leaves

Still hang on my wall and beckon me please

Dont let me go now this is my way to begin again



And its not the same anymore you dont know me as I am

Better take all those ways I cared for you and comfort for myself instead

Pull my heart in off the line and outta your line of fire

I aint afraid to face my emotions but I am becoming quite tired



Now the things that catch up with you are things you dont count on

Like knots in a plan after the ribbon all along your rocky trail of clues

Cause the barrier this time is a big knot from last time

And I try to go round it but theres more to untie

Thats why I cant stand loosing you



And its not the same anymore you dont love me as I am

Better take all those ways I cared for you and care for myself instead

Pull my heart in off the line and outta your line of fire

I aint afraid to face my emotions but this time I gotta move higher
