A New Shape

Everything good
And everything that hurt along the way
You've seen it all
Every ghost that I have long since tucked away
You know it's shape
And you're not responsible
If they reappear to haunt my dreams again
There's always an again

I never meant to lead you astray
I know what you want and where you're coming from
Someone to hear the words that I say
Sometimes I think I'm better off alone

I don't want to go another time

I'm not who I was before
We can learn and we can grow along the way
Nothing stays the same
And it's not impossible
To burn up but still rise out of the flames
Taking on a new shape

I never meant to lead you astray
I know what you want and where you're coming from
Someone to hear the words that I say
Sometimes I think I'd be better off alone
Everybody's got something that they chase
I'm running away from who I was before
There's only so much control we can claim
Sometimes I think I'm better off alone

I don't want to go another time
You don't want to see me fall behind
I've felt the lowest lows, the highest highs
You watched as I transformed, now watch me thrive
