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
