lyrics

I think I found my person
And I don’t think they’ll ever know
Just how hard it is to let them go
As they’re in love with someone else
And I have to let things be
‘Cause if my love was truly selfless
I’d be happy they’re happier without me

But if my selfish self could take the stage,
He’d have a million more things to say
‘Cause even though both halves
Want them to be happy
He knows I’d be happier if
they were happy with me

Lately, they’re everywhere I go
And they’re everything I see
They’re the flowers in my garden
And the honey in my tea
And that should speak volumes
Since the drink’s usually too bitter
Maybe that’s a metaphor for my life
And how they make it better

Or maybe it’s just another phrase
That doesn’t mean a thing
In the grander scheme of
Getting what I want versus
Appreciating what I need

I know it’s unhealthy to wait
Around for nothing,
hoping they finally come around
When I choose to leave,
And muddling through
These tangled thoughts in my head
Is really taking a toll on me
So even though you’re
Everything I want
Maybe you’re not what I need
Maybe I’m not what you need
Maybe that’s how it has to be

I think I found my person
And I don’t think they’ll ever know
Just how hard it was to let them go
