I Am Not Yours

I am not yours though I long to disappear Not lost in you but I wish I could be here Like a candle burning bright at noon Like a snowflake melting in the sea so soon You love me and I see you shining still A spirit beautiful and pure against my will Yet I remain though I want to fade away Lost like daylight swallowed by the day Oh take me deep, drown me in your tide Leave me breathless, leave me blind inside I am not lost in you But part of me wants to be I am not lost in you Still you pull me endlessly Swept away, swept away By the storm inside your eyes A single flame, a single flame That burns and quickly dies I am not yours though the pull cuts through Every quiet hour keeps breaking new I can feel your name in the bones of the air A tender ache that I can’t repair Yet I remain though I want to fade away Lost like daylight swallowed by the day Oh take me deep, drown me in your tide Leave me breathless, leave me blind inside I am not lost in you But part of me wants to be I am not lost in you Still you pull me endlessly Swept away, swept away By the storm inside your eyes A single flame, a single flame That burns and quickly dies And if I fall, let me fall into your rain Let the hurt become a kind of name I don’t want to vanish, I just want relief To stand at the edge of my own belief Oh, hold me here, then let me go I’m half in shadow, half aglow I am not lost in you But part of me wants to be I am not lost in you Still you pull me endlessly Swept away, swept away By the storm inside your eyes A single flame, a single flame That burns and quickly dies I am not lost in you Still I linger, still I lean I am not lost in you But you live inside my dream
