Look

There will be things that I'll have to do alone.

Places I'll go where you can't come with me.

It'll hurt, I promise, so forget me now

Because I won't compromise my dreams for anybody.

You insist that you'll take on the world with me.

But that's not what I'm here for.

I'm independent as they come and I need to be free.

Free from the confines that lovers sew into me.

It's hard to be alone, but I never am.

I'm surrounded by people who don't know where I stand.

I'll attempt to explain, but it never gets through

The person i'll love best won't be confused.
