And I felt myself getting optimistic
I thought this felt too unrealistic
All seemed like it was going so well
Maybe I just missed something I couldn’t tell

I thought you were my reason, I thought we could be side by side
You can never guess what someone feels inside
Nervous when we’re walking, both fear this fear of falling
Now you’re gone I can now see us both dissolving

Now to start from the beginning, to stop this wishful thinking
Need to get this smile out of my mind
I thought I was enough, I’ve been trying real hard
Didn’t stop the guard around your heart

I’m starting to learn not to look for a future
These chances seem to be getting fewer and fewer
Tied here by a tether to my roots
Looking for a way to try and be set loose

I’m learning not to love so fast
Trying to learn from mistakes gone past
Trying to be free and cut this tether
To head toward something better
Something better...

I'm starting to learn
I'm starting to grow
I'm learning to love
I'm learning to float
I'm learning to be
I'm learning what I want to be
