Phuerthann - Lightly, I Tread Lyrics

Lightly, I tread... around the pillows from our bed
Carefully past your head... nothing to take from a love long dead
Yet still I wait
Yet still I hesitate
Quietly, I cry... afraid of the reason why
Can't be free, I comply... losing all hope as I softly die
Yet still I wait
Yet still I hesitate
From days to weeks to months to years
I watched those 'round me disappear
Drifted away I let them leave
Content believing you were all I need
I remember living alone... years and years ago
I was happy then... I need to believe
I could live that way again
Lightly, I tread... take a breath, walk away, let it end
Around the pillows from our bed... lose the chains, pack a bag, start anew
Carefully past your head... turn away, find your voice, sing again
Leaving behind the cold life I've led... leave the cage, spread your wings, soar beyond

Lightly, I tread... back to you, yet still lonely in our bed
