If You're Not There

Love, confused with obsession
Care, misconstrued when they don't know what is there
You try, but every expression
Is twisted, give it time, you can thrive if you're not there

When you're stuck in this confusion
Even winning feels like losin'
And you keep giving water
To some roots that just ain't holding you down
Foundation is shaking, breaking away

Don't forget me when you go
Or neglect me on the low
Cuz I'd rather face it
And accept where life is taking us now
And maybe somehow
We'll figure it out

Love, confused with obsession
And care, misconstrued when they don't know what is there
You try, but every expression
Is twisted, give it time, you can thrive if you're not there

Time is moving, time is racing
Time is precious, time is wasting
And you're not moving closer
To that past that you've been chasing around
Who would keep waiting if you didn't move?

Time has taught you, time has brought you
To a place where they can't stop you (It's time)
Stop holding onto what's no longer adding value (It's time)
There's nothing to prove, there's nothing to lose (Lose)

Love, confused with obsession
And care, misconstrued when they don't know what is there
You try, but every expression
Is twisted, give it time, you can thrive if you're not there

I just wanna let go, I wanna dance
Give it time, live out on the floor, and take a chance
I just wanna let go, I wanna dance
Give it time, live out on the floor, and take a chance

Love, confused with obsession
And care, misconstrued when they don't know what is there
You try, but every expression
Is twisted, give it time, you can thrive if you're not there
Love
