i ll stay out of your way i held your hand as i spoke those words to you that was all no tears to fall i am what you made me i am cold and strong and numb and you d be proud of how i m holding out and please don t let me disappear you don t have to keep me near just close enough to think of you when there s an unobstructed view we began a series of plans and now we are parallel washed from separate strands and we relied on clear line of sight i won t break the distance i will always stay my ground i ll make you proud i m holding out please don t let me disappear you don t have to keep me near just close enough to think of you when there s an unobstructed view and please don t let me disappear not out of love for me my dear but i know how you hate the sound of your own voice in an empty house1
