I'm beginning to wonder what else there is out there.
Beyond this life I've filled with hopeless dreams beyond repair.
I'm living in your shadow because you're blocking out my sun.
I thought it'd be easier to be like you than actually be someone.
I never wanted to make my own choices, so I just let you decide.
But it's taken me this long to realize my reason for tears I cried.
I was scared to be alone but now I'm scared of what I might miss.
I'm curious to what else there is, but all I've known is this.
To walk away could be the end of the best thing I'll ever know.
But to stay could mean I'll never know where else I could go.
Maybe out there I'd find a place to live and just be me.
I thought that I could just walk away, but it hasn't come that easily.
It's difficult for me to go when you're all I know and want.
But in the end I don't want to find that you're really all I've got.
So as I leave please promise me that all the things you said were true.
At least that way I can be sure I never wasted my time with you.
My life is flying past me and I don't know what happened to all this time.
All I know is that the world disappeared the day you became mine.
But I want to see what I'm missing while I'm held tight in your embrace.
I'm sure that if I could see it, the world would be a beautiful place.
So I'm off to see reality, and I wish you only the best.
I know that life will be hard and that this I might regret.
But I need to break free and learn to be the person I forgot.
I've spent too long standing in the shadows and becoming someone I'm not.
As I walk away with my head held high, please know that it's not easy.
I love you, but I think it's finally time I learn to fall in love with me.
