 I Love  the  time and in  between, The calm inside me
 in the space  where I  can breath e. I believe there is a
  distance  I have wandered  to touch up no the ye ars of
  Reaching  out ,  and re aching in
   Holdin g  out,  Holdin g in.
 (acoustic guitar comes in on 1st Am7)
   I  believe  this is  Hea ven to  no one else but me.
   And I'll  de fend  it long  as I can be
  Left  here  to linger  in si lence
 If I choos e  to would  you try to understand?
 I know  this  love is passing  time, passing through like li quid
   I'm drunk  in my desire
  But  I love  the  way you smile at me,
 I love  the  way your hand s reach out and
   Hold  me near.
   I  bel ieve  I
   I  believe  this is  heaven  to no one else but me,
 And I'll  defend it  long as I can be
  Left  here  to linger in s ilence,
 If I choose  to would you tr y to understand?
  Oh,  the quiet  child  awaits the day when she can break free
   the mold  that  clings like  desper  ation.
  Mother  can't  you see I've got to
  live  my life  the  way I  feel is right for me
   Might not  be rig ht for you, but its
   Right  for me, oh.
 I  believe  this is  Heaven to no one else but me.
   And I'll  defend  it long as I can be
  Left  here  to linger in si lence
 If I ch oose  to would  you  t ry to understa nd?
  I  would like  to lin ger  here in s ilence if I ch oose to,
 Would you  u nderstand  it?
