"i know" lyrics

I know you
Slipping away
Just out of reach
And I want to make you stay
But I'll let you go
Like a bird falling from the tree
Like its mother letting it go
Reluctantly

But there is nothing I can say
There is nothing I can do
There is no one I can go to
To cry about you

And I'll watch you grow
But I'm better off forgetting
Everything we shared
Everything I care about

There is nothing I can say
There is nothing I can do
There is no one I can turn to
To cry about you

And I know it's for the better
And I know it's over
And I will tell myself it's ending
We're ending
We're fleeting
And I'm bleeding, and I'm screaming
And I'm waiting, and I'm praying
And I'm hoping, and I'm dreaming
And I wish you would see me
Do you see me?
Do you know me?
Do you want me?
Will you choose me?
Will you leave me?
'Cause there is nothing I can say
There is nothing I can do
There is no one that can hold me
While I cry about you

And I feel you leaving from my soul
It's like someone's grabbing it and I'm half of a whole
And I don't know where I can start
But it's over, and we're over
You don't have to say it, I'm still sovereign
And I know we're over
And it's done
And I keep bringing it up
But I don't know who to go to
To cry about you
