If you could only see me baby Laughin' out loud when I'm alone It would amaze you how that lately All of my darkness is gone It don't mean that I don't miss you Heaven knows how I still care It's just the bitterness and the drinkin' Weren't gettin' me anywhere And it's a beautiful feelin' Breathin' on my own And I'm flying faster than I've ever flown And I'm discoverin' lately From way above the ground That I was never lost I was just takin' the long way around I can still feel you with me sometimes Touchin' my skin like the sun But on the downhill side of forgiveness I finally found the room to run And it's a beautiful feelin' Breathin' on my own And I'm flying faster than I've ever flown And I'm discoverin' lately From way above the ground That I was never lost I was just takin' the long way around The long way around If you could only see me baby
