Maybe This Time
Maybe this time I won't write a story
Of dragons to slay and people to pay a visit to
Maybe this time I won't empathize with the villains
Hoping to understand why they're not okay
Maybe this time I won't fixate on their insecurities
Teaching them how to breathe
I wanna breathe
I wanna go outside
Where the air just seems so nice
And the expectations die
Been searching for a way
To release others' pain
Without throwing it away
Maybe this time
I'll set myself free
Maybe this time I won't make assumptions
'Bout words people say and get in the way of helping
Maybe this time I won't insert myself in solutions
Hovering while they heal their shame
Maybe this time I won't rob myself of space
Rob myself of trying to find my place
I wanna go outside
Where the air just seems so nice
And the expectations die
Been searching for a way
To release others' pain
Without throwing it away
Maybe this time
I'll set myself free
I seem to be
A magnet for others' misery
It's not easy
Being good at empathy
How can I reclaim my energy?
I'll set myself free
Of dragons to slay and people to pay a visit to
Maybe this time I won't empathize with the villains
Hoping to understand why they're not okay
Maybe this time I won't fixate on their insecurities
Teaching them how to breathe
I wanna breathe
I wanna go outside
Where the air just seems so nice
And the expectations die
Been searching for a way
To release others' pain
Without throwing it away
Maybe this time
I'll set myself free
Maybe this time I won't make assumptions
'Bout words people say and get in the way of helping
Maybe this time I won't insert myself in solutions
Hovering while they heal their shame
Maybe this time I won't rob myself of space
Rob myself of trying to find my place
I wanna go outside
Where the air just seems so nice
And the expectations die
Been searching for a way
To release others' pain
Without throwing it away
Maybe this time
I'll set myself free
I seem to be
A magnet for others' misery
It's not easy
Being good at empathy
How can I reclaim my energy?
I'll set myself free
