Let's take a moment, if you will, for me

Give me a moment, just one moment to breathe

If every step I've made was made with the burning hope

That one day I would wake up just to know who I am

A cotton welcome mat

A pushover and a diplomat

A girl, not a woman bred for futures passed

I'm more to you than you are to me

Start to learn your place before I leave

But if I'm more to you than you are to me

Why can't I be easier to say when you mean nothing?

If every step I've made was made with the dying hope

That one day I would wake up just to know that I am

I'm not your welcome mat

Nor your slut or punching bag

A girl, not a woman whose only future's past

I loved you through the crimes

I led you through the darkest times

I held you in my god forsaken arms!

I'm more to you than you are to me

Start to learn your place before I leave

But if I'm more to you than you are to me

Why can't I be easier to say when you mean nothing?

If you told me it could possibly be like this

(I won't stand for this!)

I would have packed my bag and ran

No matter how lonely or how at fault I was or am

(I won't stand for this!)

I would have packed my bag and ran

I

But then I found myself a way

To move my mind to another world

The simple life on Venus

Whilst my body lurks this lonely place

I'll live to see a longer day on my yellow sunshine

A year will never seem as long

As the bodies above sing their song

I'm more to you than you are to me

Start to learn your place before I leave

But if I'm more to you than you are to me

Why can't I be easier to say when you mean nothing now?
