Your  voice is adrift, I can't expect it to sing to me
 As if I was the only one  I'll follow you
 The leaf that's following the sun
 When will my weight  be too much for you?
 When will these ideas  really be  my own?
 Cause this moment  keeps on moving
We  were never meant to hold on
 This was a scene worth waking up for
 When I woke up, you planted me in my own body
 Don't know why but somehow it just feels so wrong
 When you're sad I will be lonely
 But when you rise again I'll become the sun
 I will shine down upon you
 As if you were the only one
 Your voice is your own, I can't protect it
 You'll have to sing a verse no one has ever known
 Don't be afraid ‘cause no one ever sings alone
 Your way will never be too much for me
 Your ideas have always been your own
 And this moment keeps on moving
 We were never meant to hold on
