Can Do

i can do this on my own
you get used to the guilt
the bed doesn't seem empty anymore
it just swallows you up to keep you warm
i don't feel lonely anymore
i feel relieved
no more tears and no more fears
i only answer to myself
i'm no longer held up to someone else's impossible standards
i have everything i need

i feel lighter
i think clearer without all your hot air surrounding me
i've reflected enough on the why
i'm doing myself proud
other people's happiness doesn't drag me down
life just got simpler

i smile to myself more often
don't feel sorry for me
i've finally set myself free
i no longer hold on to the cliches
this is paradise
i got all my stuff just the way i want it
the toilet seat is always down
i'm a big girl now

i can do this on my own and damn i do it good

Lead the Way

i'm taking your hand.
i'm letting you lead the way.
you're so sure of the path we are on.
i'm letting go of my doubts and fears.
i'm taking this leap of faith.
i'm hoping we land on solid ground unscathed.

perfection is just flaws you can live with.
love alters your vision.
i no longer see errors when i look at you.
i never want to come down from this high.
i'm flying through the air on this trapeze
with no safety net to catch me.

i'm spinning around on a dance floor.
you're leading the way.
your confidence eases my insecurities.
i can say i love you while looking you in the eyes.
i'm taking this as a good sign.
i pray for years of happiness to come.

affection is a choice you make to show
your love holds no hostages.
i no longer hesitate when you reach for me.
i never want this feeling to end.
i'm jumping from the airplane
with no parachute to break my fall.

i'm not hung up on uncertainties.
i'm letting you lead the way.
every day i wake up knowing you're the one.
i'm finally breaking away from my chains.
i know now you can't plan love out!
