You were all I had to hold
Even though I never did
I cut the ropes off your wrists
And I let you go
Your hands started to unfold
But like a frightened child you hid
I lost you in the fog
Far down below
So scared you'd be gone for good
'Cause I love you like no other could (x4)
Moments before it came out
I just bottled up inside
Til waterfalls flowed down
Through your eardrums
Then I knew without a doubt
That your mind had been corrupt
But I'll follow you through this maze
With every strum
So scared to let you be
I was sure you were leaving me (x4)
You were all I had to keep
Lost somewhere dark and deep
But oh you go
You go where you please
Underground or high above the trees
I'm still here upon my knees
Oh you go where you please
You were all I had to hide
Locked somewhere safe inside
But oh you go
You go where you please
Underground or high above the trees
I'm still down on earth on my knees
Oh you go where you please
O waterfalls carry you where you please
O waterfalls bring you where you please
O waterfalls bring you ease
