Victoria Tidwell - Above All Else Lyrics

"I try to do my best to keep my head on my shoulders"
"I want to feel like I'm free, but I'm scared of getting older"
"I know what I want from life, but I don't know how to get there"
These are the things you would've said if you'd have known yourself better
You wanted something, too, but you knew that you weren't ready
I felt like something new. Just take it slow; take it steady
If you don't say how you feel, how could I say you led me on
There are things you never said but that I knew all along
I know it wasn't your intention to leave me high and dry
I guess I should've listened when I read all of the signs
I learned to be without you once, before you apologized
I guess I'll have to learn how to do it a second time
I hope that you feel my absence from your life
As strongly as I felt your presence in mine
I believe you when you say you need to figure out your life
I just wish you'd known yourself enough to spare my heart this time
But above all else, I hope you find what you're looking for in life
I don't know if it was love, but I know it could've been something
Six months of wanting us, and it all amounts to nothing
I know I'll still wonder what it would have been like
If only you were ready for someone else to be in your life
I know it wasn't your intention to leave me high and dry
I guess I should've listened when I read all of the signs
I learned to be without you once, before you apologized
I guess I'll have to learn how to do it a second time
I hope that you feel my absence from your life
As strongly as I felt your presence in mine
I believe you when you say you need to figure out your life
I just wish you'd known yourself enough to spare my heart this time
But above all else, I hope you find what you're looking for in life

"I try to do my best to keep my head on my shoulders"
"I want to feel like I'm free, but I'm scared of getting older"
"I know what I want from life, but I don't know how to get there"
